Sol's Sandwich Shop and Deli is a restaurant in the Two North Twentieth building slated to open in June 2008.
John Hand 1972-1994
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 1972 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.
Two North Twentieth 2008-
In 2008, Bajalieh's son revived the Sol's Sandwich Shop name and re-opened 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.
