You Can’t Buy Love…But You Can Buy a Goodcents® Franchise

That’s almost the same thing. Because our customers love our high-quality sandwiches on fresh-baked bread. And our franchisees love the loyal following our brand has.

We’re not like other sub brands. Our commitment to high quality and freshness is what has kept customers raving about the brand since 1989.

Sandwiches Are Big Business!

Looking to invest in an industry with great sales potential? Look no further than the sandwich industry:

Sandwich and sub shop franchises make up 12% of all quick-service restaurants, and demand is growing.
Annual growth from 2014 to 2019 was 3.4% (burger restaurants saw just 2.6% growth).
Total revenue in this niche in 2019 was $25 billion.

Goodcents is Even Bigger than Sandwiches!

A key differentiator is our Goodcents To Go line of prepared meals like fresh grilled Alaskan salmon and customer favorite Chicken Alfredo.
This additional revenue stream has been a major boost for our franchisees.
Goodcents To Go was implemented Fall 2019 and is now available nationwide!

Hear What Our Franchisees Think

Hi. I'm Joe, The Founder

Let me tell you a little about my story and what I think is so great about Goodcents.

I started my first business when I was all of six years old, selling lemonade. That experience lit a fire in me, and by 18, I had my own ice cream truck. At 22, I bought a gas station and used car lot.

Then I turned my attention to the restaurant industry. After spending 10 years working with the McDonald’s Corporation as an instructor of the franchise program, I was ready. In 1989, I opened Mr. Goodcents Subs & Pastas. Today, I’m proud to say we have more than 60 locations across the country.

I love working with our franchisees because they are as passionate about the brand as I am. I’d love to welcome you to the family.
