On this week’s Restaurant Road Trip, we’ll travel a few miles off Exit 125 of Interstate 79 to Hobo Junction in Harrison County.
People have been grabbing hoagies to-go for years from the familiar eatery, but 12 News had the chance to meet with the new owners of Hobo Junction to find out what changes, if any, customers can expect from this local favorite.
Harrison County residents Isaiah Simon and his parents, Gary and Mindi Simon, went from long-time customers of Hobo Junction, to its 
new owners in just a matter of a few months.
new owners in just a matter of a few months.
“Once we saw the for sale sign, my mom saw it on Facebook and jokingly sent it to my dad in text message, little did she know that he was seriously going to consider buying it,” Isaiah Simon said.
Hobo Junction, famous for its humongous hoagies and wide selection of Amish-made foods, has been a popular place to grab a quick bite or some groceries for more than a decade, and the Simon family plans to keep it that way.
“When we first got it, [customers] were just like, ‘Now don’t go changing stuff,’ and we haven’t,” Simon said. “We’ve done what we can as far as keeping everything the same. We got all of Mary’s recipes before she left and we were here for probably three weeks or so, training with her, before she left just to make sure that we kept everything the same.”
