Who This Opportunity
Is For
We’re building with operators who are ready to grow beyond a single location.
The best fit for this opportunity:
Multi-unit franchisees or experienced business operators
Access to $500K+ in liquid capital
A plan to develop 3 or more locations
A long-term view on building within a defined Oklahoma City territory
If you’re looking for a one-off investment, this likely isn’t the right fit.
Why Potbelly
Potbelly started in a neighborhood antique shop and grew into a national brand by focusing on what works: good food, a welcoming experience, and a model operators can scale.
What that means for you:
A Brand People Crave, Not Just Recognize
Toasty sandwiches, hand-dipped shakes, and a menu that drives repeat visits. This is not a one-time visit concept. It becomes part of the weekly routine.
A Shop Experience That Builds Loyalty
Potbelly feels familiar from the start. That neighborhood energy translates into consistent traffic and stronger customer relationships over time.
Simple, Repeatable Operations
A focused menu and well-defined processes make it easier to deliver a consistent experience without unnecessary complexity.
Built for Real Growth, Not Just First Units
Designed for operators planning multiple locations. As you build density, efficiency improves across labor, marketing, and daily operations.
Flexible Enough to Meet the Market
Inline, endcap, and nontraditional formats allow you to enter high-demand locations, from urban business districts to growing suburban retail centers.
Support That Stays Involved
From site selection through opening and ongoing operations, the team stays engaged to help you continue growing.
Why Oklahoma City Is a Strong Growth Market
Oklahoma City combines affordability, economic stability, and a growing population with plenty of room to expand.
For operators, that creates real opportunity if the concept can deliver quality, convenience, and consistency.
A Growing Regional Hub: Oklahoma City continues to attract new residents, employers, and investment, creating demand across both established neighborhoods and emerging development corridors.
Strong Business Fundamentals: A steady mix of locals, commuters, and visitors creates consistent volume beyond typical dayparts.
Communities That Value Consistency: Oklahoma City is built on strong neighborhoods and loyal customer relationships. Brands that consistently deliver quality and hospitality have the opportunity to earn repeat business for years to come.
Room to Build Density: From Downtown Oklahoma City and Midtown to Edmond, Norman, Moore, and surrounding communities, the market offers multiple opportunities to develop strategically and scale efficiently.
In markets like Oklahoma City, operators who establish multiple locations early and build density tend to perform best.
