ANN ARBOR, Mich. – DiBella’s Subs is set to reopen its doors after closing in February 2022 due to a fire in the Cranbrook Shopping Plaza that caused $250,000 worth of damage to area businesses.

The location, at 904 W. Eisenhower Pkwy, will have a grand reopening on Wednesday, May 15, to show off new renovations. Based in New York, chain is known for fresh-baked bread, Italian-style sandwiches, pastas and potato salads.

Officials said those first in line during the reopening will receive special perks. The first 30 customers in line will receive 52 coupons for free five-inch subs -- essentially free sandwiches for a year. The first 100 customers will be given a free Red Velvet cookie.

“Ann Arbor has been a landmark city for DiBella’s since we started our journey building sub shops,” said DiBella’s Director of Marketing AJ Shear. “We’re incredibly excited to reopen this DiBella’s location and continue building the love of subs across all of Michigan and the U.S. We love being part of the Ann Arbor community!”

DiBella’s Ann Arbor will have seating for 80 guests at a time.

The chain has 44 locations in Connecticut, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Michigan.
