After half a century of proven execution, Capriotti’s Sandwich Shop is entering its next phase of national expansion. This 50th anniversary year is a strategic moment for passionate entrepreneurs to invest in a brand backed by proven history, refined support infrastructure, and a significant potential for multi-unit growth.
To fuel this next chapter, Capriotti’s has introduced its limited-time 50-50-50 incentive, offering qualified new franchise partners up to $50,000 in savings through discounted franchise fees and royalties as the brand builds toward its next 50 years.
A Product Built to Go Anywhere
What began as a humble neighborhood sandwich shop in Wilmington, Delaware, has grown into a nationally expanding franchise operating in 25 states, including Hawaii, with momentum that continues to build.
“If you think about where this idea started and where it is today, it’s pretty extraordinary,” said Ashley Morris, CEO of Capriotti’s. “That our product was so accepted and loved by customers that it afforded the company the opportunity to grow across the country.”
Capriotti’s has focused on perfecting a product that resonates across regions while continuing to evolve alongside consumer expectations and industry shifts. That balance between consistency and adaptability has allowed Capriotti’s to scale without losing its identity.
“That is what success means to me, that this product can go anywhere, resonate with customers, and be delicious,” Morris added.
A Legacy Brand That Never Stopped Building
Longevity alone does not guarantee relevance. What sets Capriotti’s apart is how intentionally the brand has evolved behind the scenes. The company has focused heavily on strengthening its operating system, support infrastructure, and franchise execution model.
“What’s vastly different today is our operating system,” Morris explained. “Every facet of this business has a system and a resource designed to support our franchise partners and help them achieve their desired results.”
Capriotti’s has continuously invested in reducing risk and improving returns for franchise partners. Today, that effort shows up across every facet of the organization, from training and operations to marketing and ongoing support.
Why This Anniversary Year Matters
Fifty years of execution have positioned Capriotti’s Sandwich Shop at a pivotal moment, where proven performance meets wide-open opportunity. With available territories across many markets paired with a product that performs nationwide, the brand offers franchise partners the flexibility to build in the markets that matter most to them.
“We’re just scratching the surface with the white space that Capriotti’s executes in,” said Morris. “We have territory available in many locations across the country, which gives franchise partners the opportunity to build their business in the market they choose, rather than being forced to relocate.”
To support its next phase of expansion, Capriotti’s is offering its 50-50-50 incentive, providing qualified new franchise partners up to $50,000 in savings through discounted franchise fees and royalties. With a proven foundation and added financial incentive, this anniversary year represents a strategic moment for passionate entrepreneurs to take the next step.
