Potbelly Sandwich Works | Food & Dining

Potbelly Sandwich Shop began in 1977 as a small antique store run by a nice young couple. Despite the fast-paced, never-a-dull-moment world of antique dealing, the couple decided to bolster their business by making sandwiches for their customers. What began as a lark, turned out to be a stroke of genius. Soon, people who couldn't care less about vintage glass doorknobs were stopping by to enjoy special sandwiches and homemade desserts in this unusual atmosphere.

Our philosophy on giving is aligned with our mission, “To Make People Really Happy.” Kindness and the spirit of generosity are part of our culture and history. We want to spread as much of the Potbelly love as possible to the neighborhoods we are in. To do that, we focus on helping the families who live in our local communities. In helping those in need, we are also very sensitive to all points of view. Finally, our charity partners must also embody the same positive commitment to the community we try and achieve.
