Owner of local Lenny’s Sub Shop learns life happens when least expected

By: Carole Robinson

Anand Patel had a plan for his life – and then life happened. Patel learned the importance treating people well, a close-knit family and a caring community. 

In 1978, Patel’s father purchased a hotel – his first – in Pulaski, Tenn. Looking to the future, he was soon building Days and Quality Inns along Interstate 65 in Tennessee from Exit 1 near the Alabama border to Exit 117 near the Kentucky border and a family business.

New Lenny's in Tallahassee, FL

Lenny's is excited to announce a new opening on Feb. 7, 2013 in Tallahassee, Florida.

Franchiser Chris White, just 33 years old, is opening the location with his two business partners: his 29 year old brother and his 84 year old grandfather. All three have a history in restaurants, but when they came together to open a business, found they had a difference of opinions.

Chris wanted wings, but his brother was working for a pancake chain at the time. Their biggest concern was the quality and taste of a product they wanted to believe in. There was a Lenny's near his brother's work that they happened to try together and were blown away. They easily sold their grandfather on the idea of opening a Lenny's and the rest is history to be made!

With the economy bouncing back and returning increase of patronage at dining establishments, Chris and his family are eager to open next week. With the rest of their extended family surrounding the Tallahassee are, this is sure to be a successful family affair for quite some time.
