The Rise of Women Entrepreneurs in Franchising
More women entrepreneurs than ever are choosing franchising as a path to business ownership. Whether starting fresh or expanding an existing operation, women entrepreneurs are leveraging franchise opportunities to create businesses that offer flexibility, strong support, and established brand recognition.
At Blimpie Express, we recognize the drive and determination of women in business. Our express franchise model is designed to make ownership more accessible, especially for those looking for a streamlined way to enter the restaurant industry. With an affordable cost of entry, a simplified setup, and ongoing support, Blimpie Express is an ideal choice for women entrepreneurs who want to invest in a business that fits their lifestyle and goals.
Why Women Entrepreneurs are Choosing Franchising
Franchising has become a leading choice for women entrepreneurs, because it provides a structured business model with built-in support. Instead of starting a business from scratch, franchise owners gain access to proven systems, training, and operational guidance.
Blimpie Express makes business ownership even more accessible by offering:
- Lower startup costs compared to traditional restaurant models
- Prefabricated units that can be installed quickly with minimal disruption
- Brand recognition as part of Blimpie, America’s Sub Shop
- Comprehensive training and ongoing support from our experienced team
- Flexibility to run a business with a manageable footprint
With a Blimpie Express franchise, women entrepreneurs can take control of their financial future while benefiting from a community of franchise owners and corporate support.
A Streamlined Model for Business Growth
Many women entrepreneurs already run businesses in industries like convenience stores, travel plazas, and food service. Adding a Blimpie Express franchise to an existing business is an easy way to expand offerings and attract more customers.
Our express model is designed to integrate seamlessly into existing spaces, allowing business owners to introduce a trusted, high-demand food service option without a major renovation or complicated setup. This means more opportunities for women entrepreneurs to scale their businesses without the risks associated with starting a restaurant from the ground up.
With a turnkey installation process, franchisees can be in business within days. The Blimpie Express unit is prefabricated, delivered in three modular sections, and assembled on-site with minimal downtime. This efficient setup allows business owners to quickly add fresh, made-to-order sandwiches to their offerings.
Comprehensive Support for All Entrepreneurs
Owning a franchise is about more than just having a recognizable name—it’s about having a support system that empowers business owners. At Blimpie Express, we ensure our franchisees receive the guidance they need from the moment they join our system.
Our training program covers every aspect of running a Blimpie Express franchise, including:
- Food preparation and quality control to deliver a consistent customer experience
- Point-of-sale training and inventory management for smooth operations

What’s more, our corporate team provides ongoing coaching, so franchisees always have the resources they need to grow their business.
