Business Partners and Military Friends Bring Famous Sandwich Shop to Moreno Valley, First of Three Locations

Upscale, Fast Casual Dining Powerhouse with House-Crafted Menu set to Open in Moreno Valley

MORENO VALLEY, Calif., June 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Capriotti's Sandwich Shop, known for its award-winning, hand-crafted cheesesteaks, turkey subs and more, will debut a new location in Moreno Valley at 12831 Moreno Beach Dr. on June 4. Capriotti's brings the Moreno Valley community its 45-year tradition of slow-roasting whole, all-natural turkeys in-house and hand-pulling them every morning and other favorites like the made-from-scratch meatballs using premium, fresh ingredients. This marks the first of three locations that the owners plan to bring to the area.

Capriotti's is known for its wide array of sandwiches including The Bobbie®, made with fresh oven-roasted turkey, cranberry sauce, stuffing and mayo, the Capastrami, made with hot pastrami, Swiss cheese, Russian dressing and homemade coleslaw and the cheesesteak is made with premium steak, chicken or Impossible plant-based meat and melted cheese plus hot or sweet peppers. The Moreno Valley Capriotti's will offer a convenient order-ahead option, in addition to third-party delivery services. The new shop will bring 20 new jobs to the Moreno Valley community.

The new location is locally owned and operated by entrepreneurs and business partners, Ron Strayhorne and Paul Garcia. The pair met while working as loadmasters aboard the US Air Force's C-17. While conducting combat operations, which included delivering military and humanitarian aid to areas in need via airland or airdrop, they were impressed with each other's work ethic and decided to go into business together. It was when Garcia tried Capriotti's that he knew that's what they had to bring to the community. 

"Garcia asked me to try Capriotti's and as soon as I did, I knew there was something special here," said Strayhorne. "Now that I have retired from the Air Force, I want to contribute to the community in a new way. With Capriotti's, not only can we provide a high-quality product, but a place where people can come together."
