Big Pops Sandwich Shop expands to Ludlow, bringing gourmet sandwiches

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. 

The ribbon-cutting ceremony saw owners Jan Giejda and Luca Sena joined by team members Paisley Barr, Karen Vargas, and Michael Reyes, along with Okemo Valley Chamber Executive Director Carol Lighthall and Assistant Director Leah Krieble.

Inspired by his grandfather, known as “Big Pops,” Jan Giejda’s vision for the sandwich shop reflects a deep connection to family and community.
