Images of a sub sandwich never fail to make one’s mouth water. It has become deeply ingrained in the American culture and it is not uncommon to see a sandwich shop on every corner. One of America’s favorite sandwiches is Lenny’s Sub sandwich. Lenny’s offers some of the best sandwiches on the market.

The first Lenny’s Sub Shop opened in 1998 in Tennessee. They are famous for serving the authentic Philly cheesesteaks. Although the owner only planned to open a single restaurant, the tremendous reception and customer demand gave way to a franchise model of the beloved restaurant. Lenny’s is now owned by Lenny’s Franchisor, LLC and continues to grow.

The company began catering to franchisees in 2001 and since then it has developed 156 franchise units and 8 company owned units. The start-up cost of a Lenny’s Sub Shop is between $40,000 and $150,000. The total investment will range from $216,500 to $369,000. A minimum net worth of at least $400,000 is required for a new restaurant and at least $40,000 in liquid capital. There are also multi-store packages available with a liquid capital of $150,000. Interested individuals can also get a third party financial assistance if it is needed.

Prior to the opening of a franchise, there will be intensive training which can take up to 5 weeks. There is also a week’s worth of Lenny’s University classroom training, 2 weeks in-store training in marketing and operations. Corporate support is also available to franchisees.

Aside from the important points mentioned above, applicants for a franchise must not have any felony conviction, must have an excellent credit score and must be committed to being hands-on with the business and willing to build at least 3 more restaurants over time.

When looking to start any business it is important, particularly considering today’s market, that you look for specific ways to cut minimize or reduce overhead and risk. Any business is going to have risk, but it is important to have a full understanding of the amount of investment, startup cost and “ROI” (Return on Investment).

Most people are not aware that 80% of ALL franchise endeavors fail in the first two to five years leaving large debts looming for years thereafter.

One way and in my opinion the best way to cut overhead, startup and investment cost is to take advantage of the new age of entrepreneurship and start a business from the comfort of your home.
