Shahan Der Ohannesian was born and grew up in Lebanon, moving from city to city trying to avoid the wars as much as possible. He stayed with his mother in Lebanon while his siblings were in California. When he was 16 his mother decided that it was time for him to join his siblings in the Untied States. Staying with his sister and brother-in-law Shahan learned how to make his dream a goal and how to pursue that goal. Starting from a dishwasher going to busboy, server, and then as a cook for other restaurants, Shahan eventually opened his own. At 29 years old Shahan opened Lee’s Hoagie House in Pasadena which has been going strong for more than 25 years. When he was 37 he had his first heart attack due to the stress of his budding business, young marriage and two small children. Shahan is looking forward to passing on the family business to his oldest son. Over the years Lee’s Hoagie House has become a staple in the Pasadena community, even building lifetime relations with almost half their customers.
