Our first location (The original ‘Yello Sub’) is world renowned and well known by anyone who lived or studied in Lawrence, KS. We became “Planet Sub” in 1998, and started our path to franchising in 2003. In the past 3 years, we have grown from a few franchise stores in operation, to now over 80 stores in development. We are set to become one of the fastest growing fresh-casual concepts, and territory is going fast!
