ABOUT US


For over 50 years, On the Side Sub Shop has been a staple in the Olean community—known, loved, and trusted for quality food and familiar faces. It’s more than just a place to grab a sub; it’s a place where memories are made and traditions are passed down.


Now under the ownership of Jill and John, that legacy continues with a renewed commitment to the same high standards that built its reputation. Their mission is simple: serve great food, treat people right, and keep On the Side feeling like home for everyone who walks through the door.


As a veteran-owned business, giving back is a core part of who they are. On the Side proudly extends that commitment by offering discounts to those who serve and support the community every day—including Military members, Police, First Responders, and Teachers.


Whether you’ve been coming here for decades or it’s your first visit, you’re part of the story.
