Background

Penn Station East Coast Subs: A Franchise Opportunity

Penn Station East Coast Subs is a popular sandwich franchise with a reputation for fresh ingredients and fast service. It all started with Jeff Osterfeld, a former deli owner in Dayton, Ohio. In 1985, he opened the first Penn Station in Cincinnati, Ohio, with a unique approach: preparing meals in front of customers using only fresh ingredients.

The Penn Station Concept

Osterfeld's idea of combining a high-quality, quick-service dining experience with fresh ingredients and open-kitchen cooking quickly caught on. By 1987, Penn Station East Coast Subs became a franchise. Today, there are over 300 locations across the United States.

What makes Penn Station unique?

  • Signature Sandwiches: Known for their cheesesteaks and other delicious sandwiches made with fresh ingredients on freshly baked bread.
  • Fresh Side Options: The menu also features fresh-cut fries, hand-squeezed lemonade, and chocolate chunk cookies, all made in front of you.
  • Franchise Support: Penn Station offers strong franchise support to help you succeed.
  • Proven Business Model: The brand has been recognized in Entrepreneur's Franchise 500 multiple times, highlighting its strong performance and financial stability.

Why Choose Penn Station?

If you're looking for a franchise opportunity with a strong brand, a proven business model, and a unique food concept, Penn Station East Coast Subs could be a great fit. The company is actively seeking experienced multi-unit franchisees to expand into new locations.

Who is the Ideal Penn Station Franchisee?

To be considered, potential franchise owners typically have:

  • Experience running a business, ideally a franchise.
  • Personnel management experience.
  • A strong business plan that aligns with Penn Station's vision.
  • The financial resources to invest in the franchise.

How to Get Started

If you meet the qualifications, you can begin the process by submitting an online inquiry form. Penn Station may contact you for a pre-qualification interview. If you pass this stage, you'll be given a franchise application. After completing the application, you'll have the opportunity to attend an online exploration seminar and meet other franchisees. Finally, you'll be invited to the Penn Station headquarters in Milford, Ohio, for a meeting and to potentially sign a franchise agreement.
