Schlotzsky’s Deli® isn’t your typical sandwich shop—it’s a mouthful of bold flavors built around fresh-from-scratch bread and a menu that goes beyond the expected. What started in Austin with one unforgettable sandwich has grown into a fast-casual concept known for made-to-order meals, signature sourdough and flavors that keep guests coming back for more.
With hot sandwiches, specialty pizzas, fresh salads and more, the brand delivers variety across multiple dayparts while maintaining a distinct identity in the fast-casual category. Backed by a growing national footprint and decades of franchising experience, Schlotzsky’s offers operators the opportunity to bring something original—and unmistakably different—to their local market.
