DICKSON CITY -- The spring-like weather almost makes you want to camp outdoors and for folks in Lackawanna County, that's exactly what they did Wednesday night.

It's all to get a year's supply of a very popular Pittsburgh sandwich.

People lined up outside the new Primanti Brothers restaurant in Dickson City Wednesday night with hopes of being one of the first through the doors when it opens on Thursday.

The first 100 customers will each win a year's supply of sandwiches. That's a prize well worth spending a night under the stars.

A traditional Primanti's sandwich features meats, cheeses, French fries and cole slaw piled high.

"I'm from Pittsburgh so I'm used to having them there. It's been a while, but when I get back there I make sure to make it to a Primanti Brothers," said Lisa Bolton of Peckville.

Primanti Brothers opens at 4 p.m. Thursday.

Some Newswatch 16 reporters with roots in western Pennsylvania stopped in for a preview of the new restaurant on Wednesday.
