Silver Mine Subs
 

Our concept distinguishes itself with a lighthearted "Old Colorado" mining theme, which is reflected in our restaurant decor and sandwich names. The Silver Mine Subs menu focuses on legendary, fresh-made hot and cold sub sandwiches. Simple extras give our concept wider appeal: delicious wraps, salads, soup, chili, cookies and brownies. We deliver not just foot, but an experience. Our locations all offer dine-in, carryout and delivery service. Hours -- 10AM-3AM. Great advertising and solid marketing.
