Primo Hoagies has a history of competing vigorously with the competition, going back to when our first doors opened in South Philadelphia. With steep competition, the Primo Hoagies franchise has always tried to shine with different styles and new concepts. We have not allowed our smaller, more boutique model to define our sandwich shop franchise opportunity, built upon turnkey methods of supporting business owners and promoting our investors.  

Space In The Pond

Vacancy in our industry has created a promising environment for a productive sandwich shop franchise opportunity for our franchisees. While the overall sandwich industry saw exponential success in 2018, some of the more notable names didn’t enjoy the same results we did. In a three year span, some larger brands saw a closing of over 2,000 locations. Although these larger brands may still have an incredible range of territories in the Quick Service Restaurant industry, this has allowed smaller brands to put their stakes in the ground and make an impact on the market. As these larger market restaurants have seemed to dissipate, there is a growing number of sandwich shops appearing and succeeding.

Sandwich Industry Rising

What creates the tantalizing prospect for a sandwich shop franchise opportunity are the numbers of profit and growth in the industry. The sandwich industry may have seen the larger players shrink in 2018, but the increase in overall locations has still been on the rise. From 2013 to 2018, there has been a 2.7% growth in the Sandwich & Sub Store Franchise industry. The passion of our investors is instrumental in maintaining these numbers for our brand and generating a return on investment that will truly benefit our franchisees. In 2018, the same Sandwich & Sub Store Franchise Industry pulled in $23 billion of total revenue. These figures show that although some larger brands may be losing their real estate, smaller sandwich brands like the Primo Hoagies franchise are still positioned to thrive.

Room For Potential

One of the most exciting aspects of a Primo Hoagies franchise is the potential that comes with a growing brand. Primarily, the opportunity to open more than one Primo Hoagies franchise is particularly attractive to franchisees, and creates an even bigger net for return on investment. Our model has allowed our franchisees to operate multiple locations effectively, and hire managers to maintain the daily functions of each. With the ability to stay consistent in quality and not force our customer base to empty their wallets for our product, we have created an exciting gourmet sandwich shop franchise opportunity.

Flexibility of Experience

For candidates looking for franchise opportunities, the “Experience Needed” requirement can often be a deterrent. While there may be a plethora of business opportunities available, many come with an even longer list of prerequisites and qualifications that can discourage a potential great fit. Although Primo Hoagies franchise opportunity is particularly well-suited to individuals with industry experience, our investors are not required to have a background in running a sandwich shop. Some of what we do look for in our applicants includes leadership, business, and customer service experience. Our training and support system provides our franchisees with the information they need to become an expert without any prior experience.
