September 19, 2024 // Franchising.com // FORT LIBERTY, N.C. – Potbelly Corporation (NASDAQ: PBPB) announced today the opening of its second of three locations at Fort Liberty U.S. Army Base, one of the largest military bases in the United States. The new Potbelly shop is conveniently attached to an Express gas station.

The shop is set to open on Tuesday, September 24, featuring a special promotion for the first 50 guests. Each of the first 50 will receive a complimentary Potbelly t-shirt and a raffle ticket to win free Potbelly for a year.

Franchisee Shak Patel is opening the new shop. He already operates four additional Potbelly locations, including the first Fort Liberty shop that opened earlier this year and three in the Charlotte, North Carolina area. With more than 20 years of experience in the restaurant industry and seven successful years as a Potbelly franchisee, Patel is supported by his seasoned partners: Sagar Madhiwala, Vrund Patel and Quinzell White, who also manage the existing Fort Liberty location. This team is well-positioned to bring continued success to the base’s second Potbelly shop.

“Fort Liberty is rich in cultural diversity and military tradition, and we’re honored to open a second location to serve those who dedicate their lives to our country and their families,” said Patel. “Our new location connected to the gas station is the perfect stop for the community to enjoy our signature toasty sandwiches, crisp salads, hand-spun shakes and freshly baked cookies. Continuing to grow our relationship with the Fort Liberty community is a source of pride and we deeply appreciate their love of Potbelly.”

The shop’s décor will feature touches that reflect the Fort Liberty community, reinforcing Potbelly’s connection to the military base and its people.
