The Capriotti’s Story

Capriotti’s Sandwich Shop opened in Wilmington, Delaware, in 1976. Brother and sister duo, Alan and Lois Margolet, began with the simple goal to create a unique sandwich shop for “real turkey lovers” using real homemade ingredients. Honoring their Italian heritage, they named their sandwich shop after their grandfather, Philip Capriotti, who loved to cook traditional Italian food.

So it began, the tradition of roasting whole turkeys in-house every night to serve the next day in a variety of popular sandwich recipes—including their signature best-seller, “The Bobbie”. Lines soon formed around the block.

Capriotti’s grew very organically in the Delaware region for the first few years and eventually, Lois decided to retire to Las Vegas. However, retirement wasn’t in the cards and she soon opened a Capriotti’s just off the strip. Again, she found many customers who loved great sandwiches made with fresh homemade ingredients and again Capriotti’s grew to add more locations in Las Vegas!

A New Era

In 2005, best friends Jason Smylie and Ashley Morris convinced Lois to let them open a location of Capriotti’s because they too had fallen in love with the food! This was the first of what would become three locations for these former college roommates. In 2008, they decided to purchase the company from Lois and her family. Since then, Capriotti’s has worked to develop a top-notch industry structure and has become a national franchise brand.

Over 100 franchise partners have joined and embraced their passion for great food and love of people and have built rewarding businesses. Capriotti’s Sandwich Shop has the perfect recipe to help you become a successful franchise sandwich shop partner too.

What We Stand For

Throughout our 40+ year history, Capriotti’s sandwich franchise has experienced phenomenal growth. But we have never strayed away from what has made us who we are.

    I think the reason we picked Capriotti's and the thing that pushed it over the edge was when the VP of Franchise Development came to Sioux Falls. We went around town, and he was just a really great guy. He was genuine, warm, and you got the feeling of f
