  • Abandoned Subway - Mentor, OH. Says it's temporarily closed but the "for lease" sign says otherwise. This was a former Taco Bell that was retrofitted and renovated for Subway.

    I lived in Mentor OH from 2001-2004. I went to a few Taco Bell locations over that span of time. I'm almost certain I visited this particular former, Taco Bell location at least once. I moved out of Mentor in 2004 for Scottsdale, AZ for school. Mentor holds a small portion of my heart, as I made some cool pals there, and have a generally good time in Mentor High School which I left middle of the year my Senior year (2002/03) to finish up back in my hometown in North Central TX. I remember driving up and down Mentor Ave, Johnnycake Ridge Road, Heisley etc lots of memories during my brief stay in the tiny crackerbox town of Mentor. I remember seeing James Abrham Garfield's (20th US President) estate in town, and Great Lakes Mall on the weekends. I got a PT job at a Buffalo Wild Wings when I was 17.
    Thanks Wallie, for the mini time warp for me!!

    This became a Subway in the 2000’s. Their drive-thru used to have a self-ordering touch screen kiosk but I’d say in the late 2000’s that went away as the company that owned the kiosk went out of business so they went to a traditional drive-thru with a speaker.
    As for the closing, my guess is this store didn’t recover after COVID. That road sign was changed to that in 2020.

      I remember at one time back in the '90s you could get a foot long meatball or pizza sub for $3. The other foot longs were around $5. I remember this because I was called a cheap date for buying the cheaper subs. I would also get the cold cut trio. Certainly not the healthiest options, but definitely some of the tastiest.😋🤤

      Back in the '90s a gas station here had Taco Bell and Subway inside and they had a drive-thru on the side. I remember them charging slightly extra on tacos and burritos like 20 to 50 cents extra on some items and they didn't have every item the regular Taco Bell had, but most of them. The Subway was normal with regular pricing. I called it Taco Bell Express because it was close to my work and convenient that I could go into the store and get any drink or extra snack I wanted with my tacos. Actually thinking back it was called Taco Bell Express or something like that and I've only seen a few usually off the interstate somewhere at truck stops.

But next time I get it I need to add Creamy Sriracha and Baja Chipotle because I forgot to add it on it last time.

The Wendy's right next to this went out of business due to the poor condition of the building and the owner not wanting to improve it so the franchise abandoned it. I used to go to the TGIF and Quaker Stake alot when I was a kid.

    They won some kind of civic award for the remodel job back around 2005. I think it was one of the first drive thru Subways.
    Also, I believe it closed because it was difficult to get in and out of the lot and it always had low traffic because of it.
