CENTER TWP. – Beaver County is getting its first Primanti Brothers restaurant.

Pittsburgh’s iconic restaurant, where the sandwiches are topped with fries and slaw, will open a location in the Wal-Mart Plaza in Center Township. The opening date will be sometime in 2020.

The restaurant chain also will expand to Main Street in Uniontown.

“All of us at Primanti Bros. are proud and excited to continue to grow across the Western Pennsylvania region – the place we’ve called home, built our roots and grown since 1933,”Adam Golomb, chief marketing officer for Primanti Bros., said in a press release.

The Center and Uniontown locations will be the chain’s 43rd and 44.. Along with offering those “Almost Famous” sandwiches, as the restaurant chain likes to say, both new locations will offer a full menu of favorites, including burgers, wings, pizza, and appetizers – plus a fully-stocked bar with a wide selection of mixed drinks, as well as craft and domestic beers.

The company leased both properties with Herky Pollock, executive vice president, CBRE, who said, “As both the (Center) and Uniontown communities continue to evolve and revitalize their economic corridors , the addition of Primanti Bros. shows these areas of our region are accelerating and attracting world-class operators and retailers.”

Primanti Bros. expects to hire approximately 75 local residents at both locations – including kitchen staff, bartenders, and servers, among others.

The Center location won’t be the township’s first to sell sandwiches decked out with meat, slaw and fries. Bowser’s, off Old Brodhead Road, has done that for many years.

Since 2013, Primanti Bros. has more than doubled the number of restaurants it operates – primarily in Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Maryland, Michigan and Indiana.
