New Moon Subway Planned for Fifth Avenue

The new store will be located inside the current Family Video location.

Sandwich chain Subway will soon open its third store in Moon Township. The fast food eatery plans to open a new location inside the current Family Video store at 427 Fifth Avenue, near Coraopolis, according to its website. No opening date is yet available for the location.  Family Video will downsize its store, with Subway moving its location into the same building, said staff members at the video rental shop.  Family Video purchased the building in 2004, according to property records. Subway franchises now operate on University Boulevard and Thorn Run Road Extension in Moon.   --- Like Robinson-Moon Patch on Facebook.
