Description

Three teenagers met at St. Peter's Prep in Jersey City, N.J. Throughout their high school years, they became close friends and began talking about the possibility of starting a business...

After months of research and planning, all the components were in place for them to begin their journey now all they needed was a name. Hoping to find some inspiration, they paged through a dictionary until they came to the word "blimp" and a picture resembling the healthy, generous-size sandwiches they saw as their competitive edge. That was the "eureka" moment, and the Blimpie sandwich and restaurant chain was born!
