Primanti Brothers Restaurant and Bar is celebrating the opening of its 36th location by giving away free sandwiches for a year to the first 100 customers through the door at its newest restaurant - and it's second in the Detroit area.

The new restaurant - located at 43335 Crescent Boulevard in Novi, Michigan - will open on September 15.

Hungry fans can join in an opening celebration tailgate beginning at 5:00 AM on Thursday, September 15. Doors will open to the first 100 tailgaters around noon. After that, Primanti Bros. will close for a few hours and open to the public by 3 p.m.

Early tailgaters can expect samples of Primanti's food, beverages, games and a DJ. In addition to being one of the first customers through the door, tailgaters also become lifetime members of the Novi 100 Club - an honor that means a year's supply of free sandwiches at Primanti's newest location.

Unlike the restaurant's original location, the Primanti Bros. in Novi will open as a full-service restaurant with a large bar, many televisions and an indoor/outdoor patio.
