A popular Chicago fast-casual restaurant chain that focuses on subs and milkshakes has announced that it's going to be opening locations in Orlando for the very first time.
On Tuesday, November 1, 2022, Potbelly announced that it has signed a multi-unit development deal to bring six new locations to Orlando over the next several years.
These new locations will be franchises run by Shari Nasir and Imran Malik of Sugarland Investment Group, LLC.
“We are longtime fans and supporters of Potbelly, and we look forward to playing an active role in its growth and expansion,” Nasir said in a statement. “We are truly passionate about the brand, its high quality and delicious food and are extremely excited to bring Potbelly into our backyard!”
Potbelly was established in 1977 in Chicago as a neighborhood sandwich concept serving toasted sandwiches, salads, hand-dipped shakes, and other menu items. Since then, the company has expanded to 400 company-owned shops and over 40 franchise-managed shops in the United States.
“I am thrilled to announce another franchising deal to bring six new shops to the Orlando, Florida area. We are excited to embark on this new relationship with Shari Nasir and Imran Malik of Sugarland Investment Group, LLC to share the love of toasty sandwiches with Central Florida and broaden the Potbelly brand,” said Bob Wright, President and Chief Executive Officer of Potbelly.
Potbelly is already in Florida, and if you really want to taste some Potbelly food, then hop in the car drive over to Tama, where you will find two locations!
