When did your business get started?
Our family business started in May 2012 however it was something my son Patrick and I talked about for a long time. We wanted to open a restaurant where it was a family atmosphere, where parents would feel comfortable allowing their children to go after school and relax, watch TV, have a cheese steak, soda, fries and just be able to hang out. So we decided to feature all the sandwiches by naming them after the local school mascots as well as hanging a banner for every school in the area. 

Why did you choose Doylestown to open your business?  
I grew up in Philadelphia however I have lived and coached in Doylestown for the past 23 years and I wanted to bring authentic "Philly Food" like hoagies and cheese steaks (with real Whiz) to my adopted hometown, Doylestown.

What is your business best known for?
Our eight variations of cheese steaks as well as our 10 selections of international fries and dipping sauces. Coach's is open for breakfast seven days a week featuring the best "Philly" style breakfast sandwiches. 
 
What's something interesting about your business your customers might not know?
At Coach's we have a "Wall of Fame" where any student can bring in a picture of their team. Whether its football, basketball, lacrosse, soccer, tennis, volleyball, cheerleading, dance or gymnastics, we will frame and hang the photo on our "Wall of Fame." Our goal at Coach's is to celebrate the local student/athlete, not the professional athlete. 

Does your business offer a special deals card or program?
We have a frequent diner program. After your 10th visit, your order is 50 percent off. Coach's also offers daily luncheon "special team" combo meals.
