Capriotti's Sandwich Shop

Success in the sandwich world wasn't easily gobbled up. It took a lot of years and a whole lot of turkeys before Capriotti's Sandwich Shop became a household name. Within time, their business boomed and many more Capriotti's Sandwich Shops were born. The success is attributed to exceptional quality, extraordinary service and the loyal, repeat customers who could be heard saying, "Capriotti's makes the best sandwich I've ever eaten!" In 1987, Lois and Alan added a partner, their cousin Diane Rizzo, and together they opened their second and third stores in New Castle and Newark, Delaware. Thereafter, the signature sandwiches, such as the "Bobbie®" and other specialty sandwiches, were introduced. The formula was so successful that franchising was offered to family members. Later, due to such great demand, franchising was offered to others outside of the family. Today, Capriotti's Sandwich Shops located around the country are carrying on the tradition begun in Delaware over 30 years ago.
