My father-in-law first introduced my wife and me to Port of Subs, and with just one bite, we were hooked! We knew we had to join the Port of Subs family. As a franchisee, coming from a healthcare background, I’ve gained valuable experience in all aspects of running my own business. It has not only enhanced my leadership skills but also allowed me to diversify my business portfolio.
After dedicating over a decade to working at our beloved Port of Subs store, we were thrilled to become franchisees and take ownership! Port of Subs has not only provided us with the means to support ourselves and our families, but also the flexibility to live life on our own terms.
I’ve had an incredible journey with Port of Subs for 12 years, starting as a team member and working my way up to become a Franchise Field Consultant. After years of contributing to the success of others, I decided to take the leap and become a franchisee. Now, as the proud owner of 3 Port of Subs stores in Las Vegas, I get to share my unwavering love for our brand and our delicious products every single day!
