Leading Fast-Casual Franchise Continues to Expand, Partner with Multi-Unit Franchisees

June 02, 2017 // Franchising.com // ATLANTA - Schlotzsky's®, the home of the popular The Original® oven-baked sandwich served on its famous Fresh-from-Scratch® sourdough buns, finished 2016 with nearly $331,660,468 in system-wide sales. Schlotzsky's also exhibited an increase in same-store sales, showing continued excellence among both newer and longer-standing locations.

In 2016, Schlotzsky's opened 25 new restaurants. The company is continuing to develop Schlotzsky’s national presence with qualified franchisees this year, with a focus on continued growth in core markets of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas and Louisiana and expansion into several states including Arizona, New Mexico, Georgia and Florida.

“Schlotzsky’s had another exceptional year in 2016 and it was in large part due to attracting some of the most successful multi-unit franchisees in the country,” said Schlotzsky’s President Kelly Roddy. “We’re excited to bring our Austin-inspired menu with bold flavors into more cities as we continue to grow in 2017.”

Schlotzsky’s has attracted a record number of franchise inquiries in recent years due to its quality leadership, healthy sales to investment ratio, and exceptional company performance. This growth is fueled by both existing franchisees as well as new partnerships with experienced multi-unit franchise owners with notable portfolios.
