History
Larry and Mitch Raikes (the Raikes brothers) built the first Larry's Giant Subs in Jacksonville, Florida in 1982. After seeing the response the first store received, the two brothers were inspired to branch out and take their concept nationwide. Now, the Larry's Giant Subs menu features submarine, deli, and New York style sandwiches. The restaurant also serves Soup Man soups. The Soup Man is world-famous for his soups, mostly thanks to the Seinfeld episode, "The Soup Nazi", in which he was played by Larry Thomas. Larry's Giant Subs currently has over 100 franchised out stores nationwide, with hundreds more under construction.
