Wario’s Beef and Pork, the Arena District sandwich stand that keeps East Coast sandwiches true to their roots while elevating them at the same time, will open a second location soon in Clintonville.

“New year. New shop,” Wario’s announced late yesterday on Instagram. Founder Stephan Madias told The Dispatch Thursday morning that he hopes to open in mid-January at 4219 N. High St. The address is part of a development that also houses Kirin Noodle Bar, Gallo’s on High and a Hot Chicken Takeover.

Madias’ business partners are Nate Fagan, Tyler Minnis and TJ Gibbs.

Wario’s opened its Arena District shop in 2020, in a 501-square-foot kitchen behind a walkup window at 111 W. Nationwide Blvd. There’s another window to place orders inside, and there’s seating in a nearby hallway.

The Clintonville restaurant will be 2,400 square feet with 24 to 28 seats. The new Wario’s will add new sandwiches and other items to its menu, Madias said. They’ll be unveiled in the coming weeks on social media.

From now until the new restaurant opens, Wario’s says it will give customers one entry into a drawing for each sandwich they purchase at the existing location. The prize is a free sandwich every week for a year at the Clintonville restaurant.
