A Recognizable Sandwich Brand Gives Franchisees a Head Start
Blimpie Express was created as a high-efficiency, quick-service extension of our well-known franchise sandwich shop. Since opening our first location in Hoboken, New Jersey, in 1964, we’ve been serving guests a wide variety of menu items made with quality ingredients and consistent preparation. Over the decades, the Blimpie name has become a trusted favorite, with loyal guests enjoying our sandwiches in locations across the country. For franchisees, this established reputation provides an immediate foundation of customer trust and a proven platform to build their business.
The Blimpie Express model gives franchise owners a significant advantage compared with lesser-known brands or starting a shop from scratch. Designed for efficiency, our prefabricated units are easy to install and can be set up quickly, especially in spaces that already have key elements like a three-compartment sink or a walk-in cooler. Combined with proven systems, ongoing support, and comprehensive training that gets owners up to speed even without prior experience, this streamlined approach allows franchisees to open and operate a trusted, well-known brand with confidence while taking advantage of long-term growth opportunities in the quick-service restaurant (QSR) market.

Guests across the nation turn to Blimpie Express for classic favorites in a fast-casual setting, providing convenience without compromising the high standards they expect from a leading franchise sandwich shop. Our menu offers a variety of subs, sandwiches, and salads that satisfy a range of tastes and preferences. From the Meatball Parmigiana and Chicken Cheddar Bacon Ranch to the Spicy Italian, the Blimpie Express model delivers quick, convenient meals for guests with busy lifestyles or those on the go.
The key to our enduring popularity isn’t just speed, but also our unwavering commitment to quality. The Blimpie Express model delivers the exact same exceptional product that guests expect from our traditional shops. Your customers will enjoy sandwiches made with the premium meats, cheeses, and fresh produce that define the Blimpie experience. This dedication ensures every menu item maintains classic, distinct flavor, regardless of the location’s size or setting. For franchisees, this consistent focus on product excellence translates directly into an appealing menu that commands customer loyalty and encourages repeat business.
