Potbelly Sandwich Shop, a subsidiary of Potbelly Corp., is continuing its expansion into Central Florida with the opening of its first location in the area. According to John Beckley, Vice President of Franchise Development for Potbelly, “Florida is a hotbed for us” and they are “100%” looking for additional franchisees in the Orlando market.
Each new shop requires an initial investment of several hundred thousand dollars and typically employs 20-30 people. The chain currently has 425 shops across 32 states including 44 in Chicago alone with plans to grow up to 2,000 locations by 2032. In October 2013 Potbelly became publicly traded after their Initial Public Offering (IPO).
The growth potential offered by this popular sandwich chain creates important jobs while providing customers with delicious food options throughout Florida and beyond!
