FOODLAND Super Market

Is there any debate over the following statement?
Nothing is better during a long work day than a hearty sandwich.
Nope, it's a fact.

After a long morning shift of moving a sculpture studio in Germantown, PA (Northwest outta Philly proper, pass through Nicetown, and there you are), my colleagues and I spotted this landmark across the street. FOODLAND Super Market. Beautiful hand-painted sign. Curious about what they sell in this mysterious land, we trekked over in hope to find something to eat, preferably a monster sandwich.


















Yup, full deli counter. We were in business. Italian Hoagies ordered right up w/ Provolone, Lettuce, Tomato, Hots, Pickles, Mayo, Oil/Vinegar, Salt Pepper Oregano combo, hold the onions for today. After watching Sandwich Man write a mere "$3.50" on the deli paper, we were fired up! Toss in a bag'a Herr's Kettle Cooked Sour Cream & Onion and an Arizona Green Tea all for $5.50 and you got a steal. Plopped right down on our loading dock and dug in. Nice solid everyday hoagie. Forgot the hots, but hey, we're all human. Vital fuel to finish out the afternoon shift. Forgot the address and couldn't find any trace of it online. But I swear FOODLAND Super Market was not a figment of my imagination.
