It was in 1977 that the business started. From their antique shop, Peter Hastings, together with his wife, started serving lunch to the collectors who visit their shop. The service and the great food they offer have reached the ears of hungry diners, that it didn’t take long for the business to pick up. From the antique shop, blossomed one of America’s well-loved restaurant chains. It was through the efforts of Bryant Keil, that the company became a multi-million dollar venture. He was the one who purchased the original shop and expanded the company into a series of restaurants. As of, there are more than 290 locations that the business operates. The expansion of the company is strongly attributed to the investments made by American Securities and Maveron. In 2011, the company made its international debut as it opened its franchise stores in Dubai.
As a fast dining restaurant, Potbelly Corporation offers an extensive menu that would sate the hunger of every diner. Other than their famous sandwiches, the company offers salads, shakes, soup, cookies, smoothies and malt. To further enhance the service the business provides, the majority of their store offers live music during lunch time. Local musicians get to enjoy their time on the center stage and serenade the diners in the restaurant.
Potbelly Corporation continues to offer their customers products that are freshly made from the finest ingredients. These foods are served by some of the world’s friendliest staff, who are quick to make every diner feel at home.
