Christian really wanted free sandwiches for a year.

The North Branford man, whose last name was not provided, camped outside of Newington's DiBella's Old Fashion Submarines since Monday, according to WFSB. Why? Because he, along with the other first 29 people who entered the store when it opened, got 52 free sub certificates, according to the news site.
