November 10, 2026 // Franchising.com // RENO, Nev. – Port of Subs® is welcoming back its fan-favorite fall sandwich, The Pilgrim, alongside new Rosemary Swiss Bread. The fall is also bringing a full season of Port Perks promotions, catering offers and gift card deals designed to help guests gather, give and celebrate all throughout the holidays. 

Taste of Thanksgiving on a Sandwich

The Pilgrim brings together tender turkey, savory stuffing and tangy cranberry sauce for a seasonal sandwich that is inspired by the flavors of Thanksgiving, served on fresh-baked Rosemary Swiss Bread.
