Bring America’s Sub Shop to your existing business with a revolutionary model that’s designed to help you grow
If you own a c-store, one of the best ways to expand the profit-potential of your business is to add a food service option, like the Blimpie Express Franchise, that will make your business a destination. You’ll want a straightforward, easy to execute business that serves a product people love, meets the demand of all three parts, helps you win new customers, and has a rich brand history.
Blimpie, America’s Sub Shop, checks all of these boxes – and then some.
In fact, Blimpie has a model designed specifically for c-stores: The Blimpie Express. This model is not only one of the most affordable opportunities in the $45.2 billion sub & sandwich category, but it’s also designed for a quick build-out with minimal disruption to your existing business during the construction process.
With proper planning, the Blimpie Express model allows you to be in business in a matter of days once you’re ready to build out – not weeks or months.
“The Blimpie Express model launched to help c-store business owners find an economical way to add revenue,” Jeff Wallace, Brand Leader of Blimpie. “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. The whole process is designed to be as easy as possible for both our franchise owners and their customers.”
Blimpie is a brand America loves
Americans love sub-sandwiches – in fact, Americans eat more than 300 million sandwiches every day – and Blimpie is America’s Sub Shop.
Since 1964, Blimpie has won millions of fans who love our iconic menu, commitment to the highest quality ingredients, and exceptional customer service. Blimpie pioneered the concept of making subs fresh right in front of the customer. Breakfast, lunch, or dinner, our customers can see the quality in their meal.
“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.”
Win new customers, capitalize on third-party delivery
Investing in a brand with a built-in audience is a tremendous advantage.
