Potbelly Sandwich Works expanding its Orlando presence with 2 new area locations

The popular Chicago fast-casual restaurant chain that focuses on subs and milkshakes has two new Orlando locations in the works.

The franchise-based Potbelly Sandwich Works, the iconic neighborhood sandwich shop chain opened its first Orlando location in January 2024 at 2714 East Colonial Drive.

Marking the brand’s entry into the Central Florida market, the Milk District sandwich shop was the first of twelve planned franchised locations in a multi-unit agreement between Potbelly and Sugarland Investment Group, LLC.

With plans to open the new franchised locations over a seven year period, a second area location opened at 870 N US 27, Lady Lake, followed by a third at 1315 Posner Blvd, Davenport.

Now plans are in the worlks for another two quick-serve restaurants to open, at 1003 S. Orlando Avenue in Winter Park and 5455 Gateway Village Circle in Orlando.

The new locations are expected to open late 2025 or early 2026. 

Potbelly is a neighborhood sandwich concept offering toasty sandwiches, signature salads, hand-scooped ice cream in creamy shakes, customized just the way customers want them.

Since opening its first shop in Chicago in 1977, Potbelly has expanded to neighborhoods across the country, and currently operate 430+ locations nationwide through 33 franchise groups.
