We’re excited to share that PrimoHoagies has been recognized as one of the Top 10 Sandwich Franchises of 2025 by Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500®!

What started as a single South Philly sandwich shop in 1992 has grown into a national brand with locations across the country. Under the leadership of Owner, President, & CEO Nicholas Papanier Jr., PrimoHoagies continues to expand while staying true to what made us famous: authentic Italian-style hoagies, fresh-baked bread, and premium meats and cheeses that bring a taste of Philadelphia to every community we serve.

Since franchising began in 2002, PrimoHoagies has offered a proven business model and a brand rooted in quality, family, and tradition.
