Byron Cogdell Sr. and The Hoagie Shop is Expanding to Texas After Crossing The $1M Mark

A popular sandwich shop in Buffalo, New York, is taking its sacred subs to the Texas. After opening The Hoagie Stop in October 2021, Byron Cogdell Sr. has received tremendous support from the Buffalo community.

According to Biz Journals, Cogdell is relocating to the Dallas-Fort Worth area, and he’s bringing his yummy sandwiches with him. Cogdell had plans to bring a “family-style bar/restaurant” to Buffalo, but his mind changed after a family vacation in North Texas.

“We were just going to visit my mother-in-law for her birthday and I fell in love with the city, with Dallas” he told Biz Journals.

“I was completely impressed with the way the city is set up” The chef is now looking forward to bringing a fifth location of The Hoagie Stop to an entirely new city.

“We’re probably going to start in Frisco with a location 15-20 minutes from our home” he said. Cogdell also built a management team and delegated roles to help keep the finances in order and ensure that employee operations run smoothly at all New York locations.

Another project he’s working on is consistent signage and furnishing for his current and new locations.

“I have a vision of what I want it to look like” Cogdell said.

“We have some things planned for down there I didn’t have when I started in business in Western New York.
