Why Blimpie Express is the Perfect First Franchise
Starting a new business can be an intimidating prospect, especially for first-time entrepreneurs. At Blimpie Express, we understand these challenges and have tailored our franchise model to be the ideal starting point for aspiring business owners. Blimpie Express offers a straightforward setup and operational process, making it an exceptional first franchise opportunity. Our mission is to support first-time franchise owners in their journey in business ownership by providing an accessible, affordable, and comprehensive package from the get-go.
“There are a lot of advantages to franchising with Blimpie Express,” says Jeff Wallace, Brand Leader for Blimpie. “The support is a huge advantage, the low cost of entry—getting into Blimpie as a franchise system in your own business—that’s a huge advantage. The product is by far second to none in the industry. So you’re getting the finest quality product at a very reasonable investment.”
Brand Legacy and Customer Love
Since our inception in 1964, Blimpie has cultivated a loyal customer base with our commitment to quality, freshness, and exceptional service. We introduced the novel concept of preparing subs right before the customer’s eyes, a tradition that continues to define our brand. Our dedication to serving delicious meals at any time of day has made us a beloved choice for millions, enhancing our franchisees’ ability to attract and retain customers.
“Blimpie is by far the best sandwich brand out there – the competition is not even close,” Wallace says. “We use the highest quality ingredients, and we just have the best tasting subs period. This is a brand with a strong 60+ year heritage, and we’ve never changed our commitment to quality. We provide great products and a great experience for our customers, and they keep us in their hearts.”
Affordable and Accessible
Blimpie Express represents a cost-effective franchise opportunity that aligns with the goals of both new and seasoned business owners. By minimizing initial investment through innovative design and construction methods, we’ve made entrepreneurship more accessible than ever before. Our Express units are constructed off-site and delivered in sections for quick assembly at the chosen location. This process significantly reduces the time from signing the franchise agreement to opening day, enabling you to launch your business swiftly and smoothly.
“Unlike other concepts, the Blimpie Express model is prefabricated, and is shipped to the franchise location in three separate units attached on site in a matter of a few days,” says Wallace. “The whole process is designed to be as easy as possible for both our franchise owners and their customers.”
