Meet the Man Behind the Flavor

Every great sandwich has a story. This one starts on the Southside of Chicago.

Arah "TRANE" Williams

A proud native of the Southside of Chicago, Illinois, Arah "TRANE" Williams has called Central Florida home for over 20 years. A veteran of the United States Army, TRANE has dedicated his life to service — and to the betterment of the community around him.

Craving the unmistakable taste of Chicago-style cuisine, and with little or no experience in the food industry, TRANE made a bold decision: to open an establishment catering to those authentic Chicago tastes. He introduced the classics he grew up loving — the Italian Beef sandwich and the legendary Jim Shoe.

Then came the sweet side. TRANE decided to add milkshakes and other sweet treats to the mix — and just like that, Scoops & Subs was born. His famous Monster Milkshakes quickly became the signature attraction, each one lovingly named after a loved one who has transitioned.
