The Rapid Buildout of a Blimpie Express Franchise
Blimpie Express offers a unique business model built on the 60+ year legacy of the Blimpie brand. With national brand recognition built into our franchise opportunities, owners can explore restaurant franchises that guests already love, giving them a head start in attracting local customers and growing their business. With proven systems, a beloved menu, and support systems designed with franchisees in mind, we give you the tools that you need to offer the signature Blimpie experience in a smaller format. This means more affordable startup costs than our traditional locations and a model that’s simple to install, especially if you have an existing convenience store.
Also perfect for food courts and travel plazas, a Blimpie Express franchise allows you to capture guest attention in high-traffic locations primed for the streamlined operations and small footprint of our model. And thanks to our prefabricated, three-part unit, your business can be installed in just a few days. With back of house essentials like a three-compartment sink and a walk-in freezer, all you have to do is install our unit and connect your utilities to start serving guests. It’s this simple approach that continues to resonate with growth-minded franchisees excited to explore multi-unit ownership and expand with a brand that’s delighted guests for generations.
Comprehensive Support at Every Stage
Training and support are at the heart of the Blimpie Express franchise opportunity, allowing owners to learn everything they need to connect with guests while having the guidance to reach their full potential. Our world-class training program helps you learn the basics of operating your franchise, regardless of your professional background. From preparing our signature subs to delivering great guest experiences, you’ll develop the skills and knowledge that simplify ownership.
With an ongoing commitment to every franchisee, we continue to provide support even after your grand opening. Whether you need to address challenges, ask questions, or require financial guidance, our team is here to help you figure it out. Additionally, our marketing assistance handles social media, advertising, and print marketing strategies designed to deliver results on a national and local level. For multi-unit operators, these comprehensive support systems make owning two, three, or more Blimpie Express restaurant franchises feel empowering and rewarding instead of complicated and challenging.
