Mr Subb

East Greenbush location on US 4, 9 & 20

 Mr Subb (not to be confused with Canadas Mr Sub) are a sandwich chain exclusively in the Capital Region, which I know from visiting relatives in the area (who have since either moved away or passed on).  There are five locations they had in the past that I know of that are gone now (there may be even more, but I only know the area so well.  I'd also like to make a longer list of where to put new locations like I usually do with other chains, especially in Albany proper, so it's more convenient for those of us who lack personal vehicles, whether we live here or not, but that will take a bit more research, so do watch this space, given that I'm really just an outsider of the district with only a couple family connections left today):


Past locations:


Albany (New Scotland/Woodlawn) - New Scotland Ave (across from St Peters Hospital; now Subway)

Delmar - NY 140 & 443, Four Corners (later CinderEllas Subs, now Subway)

Albany (Delaware Area) - US 9W & NY 443 (closed in 2019)

Albany (Uptown) - NY 5; Westgate Plaza (closed in 2003)

Colonie - NY 5 & Wolf Rd, Colonie Center, food court (now Kanes Hot Dogs)

Guilderland - US 20, Crossgates Mall, food court (TBD; haven't been in yonks myself)

Waterford - NY 32, later Iceburgs (last one in Saratoga County to date; I last went in 2014)


Future locations:


Albany (Pine Hills) - US 20, former Bard & Baker Board Game Café

Albany (downtown) - 25 Erie Blvd, former Subway and/or Empire State Plaza, former McDonalds

Albany (State Offices) - 7 Harriman Campus off NY 85, former Subway

Albany (Arbour Hill) - US 9, former I Love NY Pizza, Loudon Plaza

Delmar - NY 443 & 140, former I Love NY Pizza, Four Corners

Saratoga Springs - NY 29, former Stewarts Shops


Despite having come to town all my life, one I could try to get to in future is Green Island off NY 32 in Watervliet since I can take the CDTA bus there if I'm in town on my own, although I haven't had time to go to any as often lately.  The other sub chains around there are in my area as well, just like Price Chopper and Stewarts (which are few-arts).  Mr Subb will never open west of Rotterdam, just as the North Country's Jreck Subs shall remain unseen east of Canastota at this end of NY 5. There is no Subb-situte. Who else would have tater tots baked in a convection oven or a NEBA roast beef sandwich that rivals Arbys? (I just get my ham).
