The new location is the fourth owned by Penn Station multi-unit franchise owners, Tom Wright and Ann Vanover, who have locations in nearby Ashland and Morehead, Kentucky.

“Restaurants have always been in my blood,” said Wright. “I’ve had several careers and built successful businesses, but there’s something special about partnering with a franchise to bring great food and a great experience to your community. Penn Station is the best sandwich in the business, and I’m proud to introduce it to Summit.”

The Summit location features a drive-up pickup window, offering added convenience for customers. Wright personally designed the building, which reflects his forward-thinking approach to serving the needs of a rural area.
