March 26, 2025 // Franchising.com // MOOSIC, Pa. - PrimoHoagies is bringing its signature hoagies to PNC Field, home of the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders. The 10,000-seat minor league baseball stadium will soon feature an champion of East Coast flavor, offering fans fresh, made-to-order sandwiches as an alternative to traditional ballpark fare.

Husband-and-wife duo Rachel and Mike Davis, seasoned PrimoHoagies franchisees with five successful locations across Pennsylvania, will spearhead this expansion. Having grown up around family businesses, they developed a deep appreciation for entrepreneurship, quality and exceptional service. Their passion for premium products and proven success with PrimoHoagies make them the perfect team to bring the brand’s Italian specialty sandwiches to baseball fans at PNC Field.

“We couldn’t be more thrilled to bring PrimoHoagies to the RailRiders’ home,” said Rachel Davis. “Ballpark food is usually burgers and hot dogs, and we’re delighted at the opportunity to offer something different—freshly sliced meats and cheeses, made-to-order sandwiches, and our signature seeded rolls. We believe baseball fans will love the addition of another rising legend to their game-day experience.”

PrimoHoagies is renowned for its commitment to quality and authenticity, so the partnership with PNC Field was a natural fit. Each hoagie features freshly sliced meats and cheeses from New Jersey-based Thumann’s Deli and award-winning bread baked in-house daily and crafted from Philly-sourced ingredients. The brand's dedication to game-changing freshness and consistency has earned it a loyal following and the tagline: “It’s not just a hoagie, it’s a Primo.” Once a RailRiders team manager tried one of their award-winning hoagies, the pitch was set.

“This partnership with PNC Field is an exciting milestone for PrimoHoagies,” shared Nicholas Papanier Jr., Owner, CEO, and President of PrimoHoagies. “It’s a fantastic opportunity to get our family’s recipes in front of even more people—whether they’re athletes, fans, or visitors. We’re thrilled to offer something fresh and flavorful, and we can’t wait for fans to make PrimoHoagies a part of their game-day tradition.”
