A Popular Cheesesteak Sandwich Chain Is Opening 16 New Locations

Cheesesteak sandwiches are native to Philadelphia, but you don't have to go all the way to Pennsylvania to try a top-notch version of the iconic sub. Big Dave's Cheesesteaks, a popular chain based in Dunwoody, Ga., has brought really great cheesesteaks to the South, and will continue on its mission by opening even more restaurants across the Southeast.

As its gearing up to open it's new flagship location in Atlanta, Big Dave's also shared that 16 new stores will open across Georgia, Florida, and South Carolina, adding to the chain's four Georgia locations, an Atlanta-based food truck, and a franchise in Charlotte, N.C.
