Nardelli's Grinder Shoppe to Open in Oxford Today

will open on Route 67 in Oxford today.

The grinder shop that has been voted the best in Connecticut for more than a decade has five locations throughout the area and is known for popularizing grinder sandwiches in Greater Waterbury since 1922. It will open in the site of the former Quizno’s Sub Shop in the Oxford Depot at 84 Oxford Road, or Route 67.

Jeff Labrador, 29, the franchisee who is opening the Oxford restaurant, said Oxford is a great location for Nardelli's.  

Many Oxford residents have already heard the Nardelli’s name as the business has been voted best grinder shop in Connecticut for 11 straight years in Connecticut Magazine's Best of Connecticut edition, and Nardelli's has been featured on national television on the Travel Channel’s Sandwich Paradise segment.

“Certainly, the Nardelli’s name is well-known, but we have such a good product that I think we could put it out on the street and it would sell on its own because it’s that good,” he told Oxford Patch in March. (Click the above link to read that story.)
