Formerly known as Charley's Steakery, the franchise was established in 1986 on the campus of Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. Charley's specializes in fresh, made-to-order grilled subs and wraps, capitalizing on recent health food trends. The restaurant features such sandwiches as the Philly cheesesteak, chicken teriyaki, and Buffalo chicken. Charley's also serves salads and gourmet fries, and is famous for its signature lemonades.
Charley's Grilled Subs locations have traditionally been found in malls and airports across the United States. Now, the chain is refocusing on strip center and free-standing locations.
