Angie’s Subs at JAX will feature the most popular subs on the original menu, including fan-favorites like “The Peruvian” with ham, Genoa salami, bacon, Italian sausage, provolone, and Peruvian sauce, and “Dr. Bang’s Scrippy” featuring capicola, pepperoni, provolone, homemade chicken salad, lettuce, tomato, and pickle. provolone, and Del Rio sauce.
The restaurant, owned by Ed Malin, also plans to serve salads, a variety of sides including deviled eggs, desserts like Banana Puddin’ and its famed sweet tea.
“As a traveler’s first and last impression of the region, an airport should showcase the best of the local community,” said Mark VanLoh, CEO of the Jacksonville Aviation Authority. “We believe a beloved Jax Beach staple like Angie’s Subs is a perfect addition to our concessions offerings for passengers.”
Stephen Douglas, HMSHost vice president of business development, called Angie’s Subs a “beloved Jax Beach staple,” adding, “HMSHost strives to bring the best of the local food scene to the airport, so we are excited to partner with Ed Malin, Lee Wesley Group, and the Jacksonville Aviation Authority to introduce Angie’s Subs’ sought-after sandwiches and unique culture and vibe to all who travel to or through Jacksonville International Airport.”
