Sam B's first opened in March, 1972, a one- room sub shop at the corner of East Wooster and State Street ("that
great street!") across from the university.
The brainchild of
three enterprising BGSU students
it was originally named "Sam B's Sandwich of the Absurd" in honor of playwright Samuel Beckett. The first menu
consisted of a long list of innovative submarine sandwiches -- the first subs ever sold in Bowling Green!
Today, more than thirty-five years and two locations later, Sam B's has evolved into one of the finest eateries in
Northwest Ohio.
