Lenny's Sub Shop

Lenny's Sub Shop was founded in 1998 in a suburb of Memphis, Tennessee with a mission to provide its guests with More Food, More Taste, More Personality!®. The concept was an overnight success and by 2001, the team began franchising restaurants in and beyond the Memphis market.

In August 2004, current Chief Executive Officer George Alvord and a group of prominent investors saw the tremendous success and potential of Lenny's and purchased the concept. Since then, Alvord, who was previously the President and CEO of Dobbs/Gate Gourmet, has taken steps to solidify the Lenny's brand as a major competitor in the sub sandwich segment. Lenny's currently has restaurants in operation across the country and continues to sell major markets to highly qualified franchise groups.

Since the beginning, Lenny's commitment to quality and attention to detail has gone into every restaurant and sub sandwich. This dedication has helped Lenny's to become one of the fastest growing sub sandwich chains in the country. Today, Lenny's Sub Shop continues to expand throughout the United States by offering franchise opportunities. Our generous sandwiches and unprecedented customer service are reasons why our unbelievably loyal guests say they prefer a Lenny's sub hands down to our national competition. Why? Lenny's puts back what has been missing in the sub sandwich business - More Food, More Taste, More Personality!®

Ideal Lenny's Locations

Area The ideal site is located within close proximity of medical facilities, office and industrial parks, as well as large universities or government buildings. We look for sites that can support both catering opportunities and a strong lunch business. Lenny's likes to locate in "Restaurant Districts"-where people point their car when they head out for lunch.

Demographics You should look for locations that have a daytime population and a residential population of at least 8,000 people in a one-mile radius. Furthermore, immediate traffic counts should exceed 20,000 cars per day.

Shopping Center Our ideal center is within 200 feet of the main road, located on an outparcel with approximately 10,000 - 20,000 SF of retail space. The center should have ample parking available, particularly at lunchtime. With respect to ingress and egress, the center should have a direct curb cut with signalized access from the main road. Finally, because a well maintained shopping center is more likely to attract customers, we prefer new or recently remodeled shopping centers.

Visibility/Other The site should be highly visible from the road and contain fascia and pylon signage. Lenny's prefers an end-cap that is facing the street without obstructions. We also like locations that provide the option of a drive thru and/or patio seating.
