The national sandwich chain Potbelly will soon be making its Central Florida debut, according to a recent report in Click Orlando.
“The first Orlando shop will be opening at 2714 E. Colonial Drive in the Colonial Landing shopping plaza, according to a news release. No opening date for the restaurant was announced,” the report states.
In a recent interview, franchisee and co-owner of Sugarland Invest Group Shari Nasir told What Now Orlando that “As soon as they officially allowed franchising in Florida, I got in touch with them to run a shop. It’s going to be the best sandwich that Central Florida has ever tasted.”
Highlighting the brand’s versatility of service, Nasir added, “I think it’s going to be really great for Florida—not only for dine-in customers, but also for office and even catering.”
Founded in Chicago in 1977 by Peter Hastings, Potbelly would explode into a nationally-known sandwich chain throughout the following decades, ultimately becoming a publicly traded company in 2013. Apart from its signature hot subs, Potbelly also serves salads, mac and cheese, soups, cookies, shakes, coffee and breakfast sandwiches.
Nasir be opening more locations of the popular sandwich shop through the year and into 2024.
