Larry L. Anderson, 67, of Hayden, former owner of Franklin's Hoagies on 4th Street/CdA died Monday. He was born March 2, 1943, in Vancouver, Wash., to Noel and Alberta (Campbell) Anderson. The family moved to Coeur d'Alene in 1978. Larry started Larry's 5 Cent Coffee Shop, then moved on to Franklin's Hoagies where he and wife, Pauline, were for 24 years. Larry loved his work and loved his devoted customers. He loved teasing them and they would give it right back. Larry loved old cars and hanging around with his car buddies/Coeur d'Alene Press.

Question: Were you a regular customer of Franklin's Hoagies during the days when Larry & Pauline owned it?

After almost 24 years in business near the corner of 4th & Garden/CdA, Larry & Pauline Anderson have closed their popular breakfast/lunch spot, Franklin’s Hoagies. I used to be a fairly regular customer when the Spokesman-Review was located across the alley to the north. In fact, I used to give colleagues a $5 gift certificate to Franklin’s Hoagies for every five Huckleberries tips they provided. It worked out pretty well. I quit hanging out at Franklin’s Hoagies after the Spokesman-Review built its current Coeur d’Alene office on Northwest Boulevard. But I still miss the banter between Larry & Pauline — and the tremendous breakfasts they provided. You can read about the sale here. H/T: Get Out! North Idaho Facebook And: Old GONI review here.

Question: Anyone want to provide a fond memory of Franklin’s Hoagies? Or a fond farewell to the Andersons?
