The Burlington County sandwich scene is losing a familiar neighborhood staple. After serving the local community for approximately 14 years, Skyler's Hoagies in Mount Laurel has permanently closed its doors.
Beloved Mount Laurel Sandwich Shop Closes Its Doors to Make Way for Vincenzo's
However, the storefront located at 1200 S. Church Street inside the Village II Shopping Center will not sit vacant for long. The space is already being transformed, with a new Italian restaurant and pizzeria called Vincenzo's currently preparing to take over operations.
The Legacy of Skyler's Hoagies
Skyler's Hoagies originally opened in 2012 under the direction of original owner Dar Soleymani. Over the years, the casual eatery became a go-to destination for locals craving hearty hoagies and reliable lunch fare. While Soleymani eventually sold the business in 2019, the sandwich shop continued operating successfully under new ownership for several more years.
Recently, locals noticed a sign posted on the storefront claiming the business was "closed for renovations." It has now been confirmed that the shop will not reopen under the longtime Skyler's name, marking the official end of an era for the local favorite.
What to Expect from Vincenzo's
The new tenant, Vincenzo's, is already gearing up to serve the Mount Laurel community. According to the restaurant's newly launched website, the menu will feature an extensive lineup of traditional pizzeria favorites, including classic pies, cheesesteaks, and hoagies.
Similar to its predecessor, Vincenzo's will operate primarily as a pick-up and delivery business, as the compact storefront offers limited interior seating.
While an exact grand opening date has not yet been officially announced, hiring for the new restaurant is actively underway. Based on recent updates, locals can expect Vincenzo's to open its doors sometime before Thanksgiving, bringing a fresh slice of Italian comfort food to the Village II Shopping Center.
