Does anyone else remember Little King sandwich shops? It had a picture of The Little King from the old comic strip on the sign, and they made great hoagies and other sandwiches. I remember the shop in the Hollywood district of Portland Oregon back in the late 80’s, and I think it lasted until the early 90’s. Anyone else recall this chain?

There is this one, but the family bought it from the chain back in the 90’s.
