What Now reported nearly two years ago, in April 2023, on news of a massive expansion Potbelly Sandwich Works had in store for South Florida. That process is now moving forward, as paperwork has been submitted for a new location in Davie, opening at 3325 S University Dr, Suite 122.
Behind this expansion is Stellar Hospitality, headed up by CEO Rami Boaziz, a longtime Potbelly fan turned franchisee.
“I grew to love the Potbelly brand during my time as a Chicago resident and am extremely excited for the opportunity to be a partner with Potbelly and grow its presence in the Florida market,” Stellar Hospitality CEO Rami Boaziz said in a press release when news of the opening first broke.
Potbelly’s sandwiches include the Mediterranean (All-natural grilled chicken, feta, zesty hummus, artichoke hearts, roasted red peppers, cucumbers), the BLTA (Applewood smoked bacon, lettuce, tomato, fresh-sliced avocado), and Mama’s Meatball (Homestyle beef + pork meatballs smothered in marinara sauce, provolone, Italian seasoning).
“From the comforting, melty cheese of a toasted sandwich made with love, to classic photos of Jimi Hendrix shredding a guitar solo at Woodstock, Potbelly is just a fun place to be,” says the About Us page on the Potbelly website. “We’re a first-class dive. A place to take a break from it all. Sure we make the best toasted sandwiches in all the galaxies (sorry aliens, but it’s true). But we serve them up with a smile. That’s easy when you love what you do: Making people really happy with craveable food, from our toasty sandwiches, soups, salads, fresh-baked cookies and hand-scooped milkshakes.”
What Now reached out to Rami Boaziz on Wednesday to inquire about the opening. Boaziz was not immediately available for comment.
