Kresge subs,
Would love to get this recipe. I know it had oil and vinegar on them. The best subs.
Hello Carol,
Okay, I know a bit about this. Kresge's had a name change and became K-Mart. The stores that already had lunch counters/delis kept them, but after the change,
newly opened K-Mart stores did not have the delis. There is quite a lot of content on the web about Kresge's/K-Mart delis and many fond memories of the subs,
including a few recipes from former Kresge's/K-Mart deli employees.
There is a Facebook page here called "The S. S. Kresge Company" .
One of the messages that I read there gives a list of the ingredients of the sub. See below.
