Own America's Sub Shop
Join a beloved brand with over 60 years of sub-sandwich heritage.
Brand overview
Founded in 1964 by three friends in Hoboken, New Jersey, Blimpie pioneered the concept of handcrafted sub sandwiches with generous portions of premium deli meats and cheeses. The founders chose the name because their large, satisfying sandwiches resembled blimps more than submarines. Today, that same dedication to fresh-sliced quality and exceeding customer expectations continues to drive national recognition and growth. As a franchise owner, you can choose from three unique concepts, including a full-sized traditional restaurant or a streamlined Blimpie Express location.
