Texadelphia is a chain of 10 restaurants in Texas and one Oklahoma location specializing in unique cheesesteak sandwiches. Established in Austin, Texas in 1981 on The Drag, a portion of Guadalupe Street near The University of Texas, Texadelphia has locations in and around Austin, Dallas, and the Rio Grande Valley, plus Oklahoma City. Texadelphia's food is a combination of East Coast-style cheesesteak sandwiches, Tex-Mex, and vegetarian. The name "Texadelphia" is a portmanteau, combining the state of Texas with Philadelphia, a city known for its cheesesteaks. In 2008, Texadelphia founder Joel Stanley sold the company to a group of investors and the headquarters was moved from Austin to Dallas.〔(Texadelphia Parent Company Purchased ), Texadelphia.com Press Release, September 15, 2008.〕 At that time there were 19 restaurants in the chain, including one location in San Antonio which closed in July 2012.〔(San Antonio Texadelphia Facebook Page ), Final status update July 5, 2012〕 Texadelphia restaurants are independently owned franchises. On May 10, 2013, Texadelphia closed its original Guadalupe Street location after 32 years due to high renovation costs for the building.〔(Original Texadelphia Closes Doors For Good ), YNN News, May 10, 2013〕 Texadelphia currently has 4 other Austin locations. June 2015 saw the last Houston location shut down on Westheimer & Fountainview, which had been around for 20 years. ==References== * 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Texadelphia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
