What Now connected on Tuesday with franchisee Frank Bergren to discuss his plans for two more sandwich shops in the area.
Bergren, an Orlando-local business owner, shared that the first unit will appear in Celebration, just outside of Disney. However, he did not have an exact location to provide. The second unit, which What Now found first in plan review filings with the Department of Business and Professional Regulation, will open at 8675 Fenton Street, in Orlando.
As Bergren reports, both units are early in the pre-opening phases. In mid-to-late July, Bergren plans on getting the shell for the Fenton Street location. Then, he anticipates about a three month build-out. His estimate for opening as of now is late October. The Celebration unit is in a similar phase and has a similar opening date.
The sandwich brand began in New Jersey in 1956 as a single storefront. Now, under the leadership of CEO Peter Cancro, the company has over 2,000 locations open and under development.
