New quick serve sandwich shop in Royal Oak

Pop’s Hani Shop has opened on Woodward Avenue in the space formerly occupied by Kalamata Greek Grill. The Hani style of sandwich was born in 1985 by a National Coney Island cook named “Hani” for staff members at their Mack Avenue location. A warm grilled pita featuring breaded chicken, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and signature special mayonnaise, the sandwich evolved to what it is today and has since became National Coney Island’s bestselling sandwich. “The idea of Pop’s Hani Shop was built around one of National Coney Island’s most beloved and recognized creations, the Hani sandwich, which has continued to grow in popularity over the years,” said Tom Giftos, president, National Coney Island & Pop’s Hani Shop. “We are thrilled to bring the classic Hani, with some new twists, to life today, while also remaining deeply dedicated to delivering our customers fresh, quality food, at affordable prices that is synonymous with the National Coney Island brand.” In addition to a variety of Hani options, Pop’s also offers smash-style burgers, hand carved gyros, fresh soups made in house each day, fresh salads and slaws with homemade dressings, and warm oven-baked cookies. Dedicated to its local roots, Pop’s features Michigan-made Brix all-natural cane sugar beverages and Vernor’s Ginger Ale. 32538 Woodward Avenue, Royal Oak popshanishop.com
