Brand overview
Schlotzsky’s Deli started in 1971 as a tiny sandwich shop in Austin, Texas, originally serving just one sandwich—the Original—until they ran out of muffaletta for the day. Today, that single-shop legacy has grown into a global franchise known for legendary sandwiches, binge-worthy bites, and sweet treats. With a menu that defies the lunch routine, Schlotzsky’s offers something for everyone through dine-in, drive-thru, take-out, online ordering, and catering.
