History
The inception of Isaac's dates back to 1983 when founders Phil Wenger and Isaac Williams—college acquaintances from Eastern Mennonite University in Virginia—established their first location at 44 N. Queen Street in downtown Lancaster.[1] Drawing inspiration from Wenger’s father, Chester Wenger, an enthusiastic bird watcher and amateur ornithologist, the brand incorporated a pink flamingo into its logo and themed all sandwich names after birds[2], including options like the 'Mallard' and 'Penguin Club'.Cite error: The opening <ref> tag is malformed or has a bad name Additionally, vegetarian sandwich selections are designated with flower names.
In March 2017, Isaac's expanded by launching their 19th outlet—an express concept titled "Isaac's on the fly"—situated in downtown York, Pennsylvania.
By February 2019, the company relocated its headquarters from Lancaster to Camp Hill, attributing the move primarily to reduced rental expenses.Cite error: The opening <ref> tag is malformed or has a bad name
