Jerry’s Subs and Pizza in Penn Daw closes

Business and Development
Jerry’s Subs and Pizza in the Penn Daw area has closed down.
A spokeswoman at Jerry’s corporate headquarters said the restaurant, located at 6308 Richmond Highway, shut its doors at the end of March. No reason was given for the closure.
In recent years the restaurant sometimes kept sporadic hours, and the location had been subject to numerous poor online reviews by customers.
Jerry’s is the second longtime fast-food restaurant in the Penn Daw area to close recently, with the Wendy’s at the corner of Route 1 and Fairview Drive closing last October.
The Jerry’s location had previously been a Church’s Chicken, and sits on the spot where the former Penn Daw Motor Hotel operated until the early 1970s.
Not surprised. That has been for as long as I can remember one of the most uninviting places to eat along the corridor. They have never kept up any outside appearances as the lot surrounding the business was always unkempt and full of weeds and trash. The message conveyed to this potential consumer is that if the outside is not maintained then why would the inside be any better. That being said, this place and others like it are not the kind of places where I would consider purchasing something to eat. The bigger question is what next in that spot? Hopefully not another car loan title place or another business catering to the exploitation of the less fortunate residents of the corridor.
As long as the county doesn’t improve the route 1 corridor , it will remain the same
Poor sidewalks some section doesn’t even has one , people has to walk on a small patch of grass all marked down and eroded . It seems that because a lot of the people that live near by the corridor are low income , it is not a priority to do anything , no one complains anyway , so no pressure to do any improvements
Thanks for linking their Yelp account. Reading those reviews had me entertained.
