Own the region. Build the market. Earn royalties from every store in it.

Port of Subs has been slicing meats and cheeses in front of the guest since 1972 — fresh-baked bread, made-to-order, signature zesty dressings. Fifty-plus years of brand equity, a fiercely loyal guest base, and a menu that works across breakfast, lunch, dinner, and catering. Now we're taking it national, and we're doing it through Regional Developers.

WHAT A REGIONAL DEVELOPER DOES

You secure a protected region — typically a market with 10+ units of potential — and you become the brand in it. You open a flagship restaurant as your show store, recruit franchisees into the territory, and support them as they grow. Corporate handles approvals, agreements, and the FDD process; you build the market and get paid for it.

HOW YOU GET PAID

Compensation runs two ways for the life of the agreement. Regional Developers earn 50% of the initial franchise fee on every new deal signed in their region, and 50% of ongoing royalties from those franchisees in return for providing local support. That's a fee stream and a recurring royalty stream layered on top of the profits from your own restaurants — and because you sit on both sides of the ledger, you effectively pay only half the royalty on the stores you own yourself. Ten-year term with a ten-year renewal.

THE WHITE SPACE

This is the part that matters. Most of the country is undeveloped territory for Port of Subs, while the national sandwich chains are saturated and fighting over the same corners. You get first pick of real estate in a market nobody has built out yet — not whatever is left over. Our model flexes across traditional inline, endcap, and freestanding drive-thru locations, plus non-traditional units in food courts, airports, military bases, universities, travel centers, and grocery-anchored plazas.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

Full RD training at no charge — roughly 94 to 114 classroom hours plus on-the-job time in certified stores, covering franchise development and FDD compliance, our FranConnect CRM, finance, real estate and site selection, construction, and your market entry plan. You're also trained on the complete four-week franchisee program so you can operate a Certified Training Store and onboard your own owners. Training is held in Reno and Las Vegas, NV, Phoenix, AZ, or another certified location, with virtual components.

After launch: ongoing support, quarterly RD meetings, a co-funded branding and awareness campaign in your market, and direct access to our executive team across operations, sales, marketing, real estate, and supply chain. Our real estate group works your market with you — trade-area analysis, site criteria, LOI and lease review, and construction support through grand opening.

THE NUMBERS

Regional Developer territories start at $75,000. Qualified candidates have $1M net worth, $350,000 liquid, and franchise, QSR, or restaurant operating experience.

WHO THIS IS FOR

Multi-unit operators, franchise veterans, and experienced restaurant groups who want to control a market instead of a single store — and who'd rather build equity in a region than buy into one that's already carved up.
