Meet Tiffany and Ron Reed Sr., proud Chicago natives with deep roots in the city's south side. Their journey began with a simple observation: the absence of quality dining options in their community. Tired of the inconvenience of traveling downtown for good food, they envisioned a change.

In January of 2023, as they prepared for their baby shower for their newest child, the Reeds encountered a dilemma: the lack of nearby establishments offering hoagies. This was the moment that sparked the genesis of Bronzeville Hoagie & Panini.

Ron, a lifelong resident of the Bronzeville community, brings his deep understanding of the neighborhood’s pulse to Bronzeville Hoagie & Panini. With a knack for numbers honed through years of experience in accounting, Ron’s expertise not only safeguards the financial health of the business but also fosters an environment where the team can thrive and innovate.

Tiffany's culinary inspiration traces back to her grandmother, Gladys McDonald, whose kitchen was a hub of warmth and nourishment for both family and community. From Gladys, Tiffany learned the art of cooking, notably inheriting her renowned chili recipe, now a cherished item on the menu.

Drawing from her background as a former educator, Tiffany seamlessly transitions her skills into the culinary realm, where she excels as a sandwich artist. With creativity and passion, the couple infuses each sandwich with a unique flair, transforming the ordinary into culinary delights. Together, Tiffany and Ron Sr. have woven their experiences and vision into the fabric of Bronzeville Hoagie & Panini, a testament to their dedication to serving their community with love and flavor.
