Slicing Fresh Since 1972 

As your neighborhood sandwich shop, Port of Subs has been bringing people together since 1972. Our story began when two brothers from New Jersey opened a modest submarine shop in Sparks, Nevada, known as the “Sub Shop”. Yet, it was John Larsen and his family who recognized the potential and gained full ownership in 1975. Determined to set themselves apart from imitators, they launched a community-wide contest to find a new name. After reviewing over 10,000 entries, the name “Port of Subs” emerged as the clear choice. nIn 1985, we embraced the franchise model to meet consumer demand.
 

Today, Port of Subs stands tall as a leading franchising company in the quick-service restaurant industry. In 2023, Port of Subs caught the attention of Area 15 Ventures, a distinguished investment firm led by Dave Liniger, the co-founder and former CEO of RE/MAX. Drawing from our rich legacy, core values, and rock-solid business model, Liniger and his team are bringing their franchise expertise to fuel accelerated growth and rapid expansion of the brand. As we ride the wave of success, we’ll bring the unique taste of Port of Subs to more neighborhoods than ever before.
