On February 26, 2024, that dream became real in Audubon, Pennsylvania. Baba traveled to America and proudly cut the ribbon himself—a full-circle moment for the whole family.

The legacy grows.
That September, Babs opened near the University of Delaware. Every sandwich, tender and meal carries the same commitment to bold flavor, hard work and genuine hospitality.
