They closed down for good on January 31, 2025.
This is a pretty good break from the other sandwich-in-a-box stores. They start early with breakfast sandwiches before moving onto subs, soups, and salads, and there are plenty of sides/add-ons. Desserts are available, too, and most especially, ice cream from Henry's in Plano. Hours are:
Sunday: 9:30 AM to 8:30 PM
Monday - Saturday: 8 AM to 9:30 PM
They ask that you allow thirty minutes for phone orders during peak periods, but otherwise, they can be pretty quick about getting you out the door.
The founder, Jerry Oliverie, explains on their website why they're here and how they got their name:
The first Great Outdoor Sub Shop began operations in December of 1973 in downtown Dallas. Being a New Jersey native, I brought with me the knowledge and drive to make a better sub than the one I was making in New Jersey at a local deli. My intention was to fill the authentic eastern style submarine sandwich void. I knew that if I made an authentic "New Jersey" sub, using the highest quality meats and cheeses on Fresh Baked Bread, I could not miss! Being passionate and striving for perfection and uniqueness, I added to my old standbys some newly created custom subs and various proprietary items such as custom formulated & shaped breads and oven-roasted fat free turkey. I felt compelled to serve the customer quickly, with a good value, in an honest "in front of the customer" style. I insisted on and hand-trained knowledgeable, pleasant associates to work in an organized fun atmosphere. Speaking of atmosphere, one might ask, "Where did the name Great Outdoors come from?" Two days before opening in 1973, seeing we were in the middle of Downtown Dallas with all the brick, concrete, metal & glass outside the store, I wanted to bring a little feel of the Outdoors inside to compensate and allow the customer to get away, hence "Great Outdoors". Each shop has its own special way of allowing the customer to feel a sense of escape to openness and nature based on creative interior design.
