Restaurant Managers - Top 10 Reasons to Manage Potbelly Sandwich Works!

Before we unveil the list of Top 10 Reasons to Manage a Potbelly, we must first satisfy that question we know is burning inside of you.  What the heck is Potbelly!?!

 

Potbelly is actually Potbelly Sandwich Works, (We just call it Potbelly for short). Potbelly started out in 1977 as a mom-and-pop antique store in a Chicago neighborhood. In an effort to make some extra cash, the owners started selling yummy toasted sandwiches. The sandwiches were the big hit, so the owners just decided to turn their antique store into a sandwich shop. They kept all the antiques, added some items to the menu (hand-dipped shakes, homemade desserts and soups) and had a friend come in to play the acoustic guitar, and voila- a Chicago cult classic is born!

 

Since 1996, we?ve grown to over 100 wildly successful company-owned locations in Chicago, DC, Virginia, Maryland, Wisconsin, Michigan, Minneapolis, Indiana, Texas, and Ohio.  And we?re not stopping there! We're opening 40 new stores in 2006 and several of those are in the Detroit metro area. We're interviewing and selecting managers to become a part of our growing team, which brings us to?drum roll, please?
