Port of Subs® Franchise Information:

Restaurant Ownership Never Tasted So Good!
Guests have been enjoying the great taste of Port of Subs®' sandwiches for over 35 years. In 1972, two brothers from New Jersey opened a modest submarine sandwich shop in Sparks, Nevada called the "Sub Shop". John Larsen, a Public Accountant who had been advising the Sub Shop owners, seized the opportunity and purchased the business in 1975. After taking the helm, Larsen sponsored a community-wide contest to choose a new name and Port of Subs® was born.
