The Sub Station was founded right here at UCR in February of 1972. Hidden on the backside of campus for our first year, we moved to Bannockburn in the fall of 1973. At the time, Bannockburn was a "brand new" student complex, and UCR had only 6,000 students. Under the same ownership for 40 years, we have built a reputation for tasty East Coast subs and great employees. Owner Richard Munio grew up a

Jersey Boy, and came out west for college in Colorado and then Chico State. He was drafted for the Vietnam war and served for 12 months. He returned home to grow a huge, bodacious afro (you've gotta see these pics in the store!) and shortly thereafter opened The Sub Station along with a fellow Chico State grad. Everything you see here is original... the tables you sit at and the benches you sit on. They were hand made by Rich in 1972, helped along by his dad's great carpenter skills. Each generation of Subbers, male or female, will tell you of THEIR time sanding, varnishing and repeating time after time during our 40+ years. The Sub Station has always been about people... our great employees and YOU, our great and loyal friends. We wouldn't be here if you weren't here. Come see us and have some fun looking through pictures of "the good old days" and enjoying some great food!

54 years of SUBBIN….

The Sub Station has been a staple to thousands of customers and employees across more than 5 decades.

We are deeply saddened to see that our time here at UCR is coming to an end. As of June 30th, no residents or businesses will remain in Bannockburn Village.

We are at a complete loss for words with this news that we recently received. We are as shocked as you and truly don’t know what to say and are trying to process where we go from here.

We don’t know what lies ahead for the substation, and my wonderful “subbers”. We can only hope to soak up these last few months with you, our loyal sub community, friends and family.

We most certainly will go out with a bang, and celebrate 54 years of GRIT, GARLIC, and GOOD MEMORIES with a BIG party in June.

Stay tuned.

And for now, come and soak up every ounce of secret sauce and hot yellow chili peppers while you still can.

With Love,
Richard and the Subbers

We’re open GOOD FRIDAY, SATURDAY and closed EASTER 🐣 SUNDAY. Happy Easter!!! 🐰 ✝️
