Get your Cuban sandwich fix; after 20 years in Acadiana, Pepin's for sale as owner plans retirement

By ADAM DAIGLE | Acadiana Business Editor​ ​ ​

Good morning, Acadiana. Let's get down to the business news this morning on another fall-like day.

Jose "Pepin" Sanchez celebrated 20 years in business this month by putting his landmark convenience store up for sale in preparation for his retirement. Pepin's at 601 Ridge Road has served up 100 to 300 Cuban sandwiches per week since Sept. 12, 2002. The business — including the store, its name and its recipes  — is now for sale.

"My wife retired at the end of May," Sanchez said. "And I'm just ready to pass the baton to somebody else to keep it going."

Have a great day and see you back here on Thursday.
