Blimpie — Restaurant in East Grand Rapids

After the sub wars of the early 90s after subway brutally tortured and killed my uncle and caregiver, blimpie took me in and raised me as it's own. The amazing quality and taste of the subs nourished me as I planned to exact my revenge. I first struck subway by ordering only veggie subs and having them pile "fresh" vegetables on with no intention of eating them so I could bleed them dry of their materials. But just as they were growing weaker and i was about to strike them where it really hurt, they struck back. This was the worst preemptive strike on American soil, even worse than Pearl Harbor as subway paid off health inspectors(and George Veeneman) to close down every blimpie in the greater Grand Rapids area. To spare this one particular chain, this one who looked after me when the whole world turned a blind eye, I offered subway the ultimate sacrifice, myself. After 4 days and countless blimpie banana peppers offered, I rose from the dead, ready to seek vengeance and set the world right.

I feel obligated to mention that at least one of the owners is NOT someone who I would choose to encounter here or anywhere else. In fact I love it when neither of them are there. I've overheard negative things happening but never personally encountered anything directly until today. I feel bad for the employees leaving a poor review, so I've edited from 5 to 3. I genuinely hope the employees are treated well. But again, I've never been there with only one person working... Until today. I'm grappling with whether or not I...

Last week I drove once again to this location. Twice I have done this. They were not open, once again. It takes an hour to get here. Pissed me off again, quite frankly. Its really sad to see a great business slowly going down the tubes. When you aren't consistent with times, people quit coming. I know of two businesses that closed, because of this exact same scenario. One a restaurant, the other a bakery about a month ago. Please open past 4 pm. That's terrible & embarrassing for an actual close time. Maybe 6pm would be a happy medium, instead of the 8 pm. It's truly disheartening. One of the last Blimpe's left, is slowly slipping...
