Big A Sub Shop | Our Story
Nick's Highland Ave original
Nick opened Big A on Highland Ave in 1980 and spent four decades making it one of Malden's most trusted spots — built on fresh ingredients and a staff that genuinely cares.
The food that keeps people coming back
The menu covers a lot of ground — steak subs, pizza, calzones, wraps, pasta, and dinner plates. The Big A Steak Bomb is the signature: steak, onions, mushrooms, and peppers, all on a toasted roll.
A fixture in Edgeworth
Over 40 years on Highland Ave puts you on a first-name basis with the neighborhood. Patch named Big A among Malden's best sandwiches, and Mayor Gary Christenson stopped by to recognize the shop for its longtime presence in the community.
Every customer, every time
The goal has never changed: a great meal for every customer, every time. Made fresh, no shortcuts.
