Charleys Philly Steaks (founded 1986 in Columbus, Ohio by Charley Shin; rebranded from Charley’s Philly Steaks in 2018; privately held by Gosh Enterprises) is an American fast-food Philly-style cheesesteak chain with about 700 US locations and a large international footprint across Japan, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, and US military bases worldwide.

Common questions are about Sunday hours, what time the local store closes (mall stores follow mall hours; standalone stores run later), the Original Cheesesteak signature, the chain’s Lemonade Co. counter, gourmet fries, and which holidays close every Charleys (Christmas at most stores) versus which stay open with regular hours.

One quirk worth knowing: most Charleys Philly Steaks locations are inside shopping malls or food courts (versus standalone street stores), so hours follow the host mall’s schedule at most stores rather than a chain-standard pattern, and Lemonade Co. (the chain’s branded fresh-lemonade counter) is co-located at most stores.
