Big Pops Sandwich Shop marked a new chapter with the grand opening of its Ludlow location on Friday, Oct. 25,  at 57 Pond St. Big Pops has grown from its roots in Manchester, which launched in June in an Airstream.

Open daily, Big Pops Sandwich Shop offers a range of menu items, including sandwiches, salads, soups, French fries, and subs.
