As we launch our national expansion, we’re focused on tapping into underserved markets that are primed for growth, meeting the rising demand for high-quality fast-casual dining options in cities across the U.S.
With more than 50 years of heritage and 220+ units under development, Port of Subs is on the move. Let’s explore why now is the ideal time to invest in this expanding sandwich franchise and how our strategic approach to growth can be the perfect fit for ambitious entrepreneurs and multi-unit operators alike.
Beyond the West Coast: Bringing Your Neighborhood Sandwich Shop™ to New Markets
Port of Subs has been a beloved staple on the West Coast for decades, serving fresh, quality sandwiches that bring people together. From California to Nevada and Idaho, we’ve made our mark in some of the country’s most competitive franchise markets. Now, with a solid foundation in place, we’re expanding into new franchise territories with untapped potential, introducing our signature sandwiches to regions hungry for a fresh alternative.
Our next development phase expands beyond the West Coast, with movement already underway in Florida, Texas, Minnesota and Arizona. These states represent major growth opportunities for the brand, driven by consumer demand for fast, fresh, and affordable dining options. According to the International Franchise Association, franchise growth in the Southeast and Southwest is outpacing the rest of the U.S. in 2024, making these markets key targets for expansion.
Why Now is the Time to Invest: Unlocking Potential in New Markets
Expanding into untapped franchise markets offers a unique chance for franchisees to establish a stronghold in regions where competition is limited, and consumer demand is surging. In these markets, brands like Port of Subs can quickly become household names, offering community-focused dining experiences with a personalized touch.
Franchisees who join Port of Subs benefit from a proven business model that combines operational efficiency with a robust leadership team. With our expansion, you’re not just opening another sandwich shop—you’re becoming a community staple, providing an elevated food experience that stands out in a crowded market. These new territories are ripe for savvy operators who want to make an impact and be part of something bigger.
Portfolio Diversification: Why Port of Subs Complements Your Existing Concepts
If you’re an experienced franchisee looking to diversify your portfolio, Port of Subs offers the perfect addition, particularly if you lack a sandwich concept. With customer preferences increasingly leaning towards healthier, customizable options, having a brand like Port of Subs within your portfolio allows you to meet this demand head-on.
Whether you operate QSRs, casual dining, or even non-food-related franchises, adding a sandwich franchise will give your portfolio the edge it needs to stay competitive.
