GLASSBORO, NEW JERSEY, UNITED STATES, June 7, 2016 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Students at Rowan University now have a new option for lunch, dinner and all the frenzied, stress-fueled snacks in between. Tony Luke’s Cheesesteaks, “The Real Taste of South Philly,” opened its new Glassboro location on May 25 to hungry crowds and friendly faces.

“We had a lot of the community, family and friends come out, so we’re off and running,” said Tony Luke’s Rowan University franchisee Craig Lerch. “Over the past couple days, we’ve had great community support, especially with the teachers.”

“We’ve eyed this location for a long time and we’re excited to bring our cheesesteaks, chicken cutlets and more to the area,” said Tony “Luke” Lucidonio Jr., CEO of Tony Luke’s Worldwide. “Our sandwiches are perfect for an area like this, being so close to Rowan University.”

Lucidonio is familiar with the area, having raised his children in Glassboro.

“It’s a fantastic community, and we think people will respond very well,” Lucidonio said.
