Program Overview
What is the Port of Subs Regional Developer Program?
The Regional Developer Program is a unique franchise ownership offering that allows investors and operators to secure exclusive regions for franchise development. Through a robust partnership, regional developers act as self-sufficient local extensions of the corporate team, driving unit growth, conducting new franchisee training, and providing ongoing support within their territory. Regional Developers benefit from a share of royalties from franchise units in their designated territory for the initial agreement term (10 years + 10-year renewal), as well as a percentage of upfront franchise fees. This model, proven successful by some of the largest franchise brands for rapid national expansion, is available for a limited time until all major regions are sold. Port of Subs introduced the Regional Developer model in late 2023, and it has been highly successful since its inception. Inquire today to learn about the available markets!
