The
Penny Hill Story
Once
upon a time in Vero Beach, Florida, Wally and
Shelvie Bizwell owned and operated a small ice
cream shop. The dream grew as well as the shop
to include subs and salads.
A
lady they hired to assist them had worked
previously in a little shop overlooking Delaware
Bay. She told the story that people would pay a
penny to ride the ferry across the bay to the
shops and the area became known as Penny Hill.
The story appealed to Wally, and although his
menu differed from the original shop, he used
the name and Penny Hill Subs was born.

Bill
and Jan Coffey |
Several
shops later from Florida to Oklahoma, the location on First Street in
Union City, Tennessee opened in 1996. Wally and Shelvie kept it small
and operated it at their own pace until selling it to frequent
customers Bill and Jan Coffey in 1999.
After
three successful years at that location, a new era of Penny Hill has
begun. In combining that tradition of quality food, service, and the
love of people with a 50's feel, a dream has again become reality. |
