Long-awaited Subway opens at the corner of Packard and Platt

Franchise owner Mike Heffner signed a deal to open the fast-food chain a year ago, but the space sat vacant while the retail center made modifications to meet building code.

Other tenants in the three-year-old Platt Retail Center include the Ann Arbor Driving School, a hair salon and a Kumon Learning Center.

There is still one space available in the complex, which is being marketed by Jim Chaconas and Brendan Cavender of Colliers International for an annual $14 per square foot.

In late August, Heffner also signed a deal to open a 1,100-square-foot Subway at 1251 N. Maple Rd. just south of the Miller Avenue intersection.

It’s the fourth new store Subway has said it would open in Ann Arbor within the last year, adding to about a dozen already here.
