Sol's Sandwich Shop and Deli is a restaurant in the Two North Twentieth building opened in July 2008.
John Hand 1968-1995
The original Sol's was a small restaurant located in the basement of the John Hand Building known for its 90 cent cheeseburgers and 80 cent hamburgers. Opened in 1968 by Saleh Bajalieh, the restaurant took its name from Saleh's nickname "Sol." It would close on June 24, 1994, after increasing rents resulted in the operation moving to a new location in Columbiana. That location would close in 1995.
Two North Twentieth 2008-
In 2008, Bajalieh's sons Jeff, Chris and Jason revived the Sol's Sandwich Shop name and re-opened in July a block away from the John Hand Building, in a space at the Two North Twentieth building along Morris Avenue, next to Blevin's Barber Shop.
