Penn Station East Coast Subs Franchise Model Overview
Penn Station restaurants are fast-casual sandwich shops built around grilled-to-order cheesesteaks, hot and cold subs, fresh-cut fries and hand-squeezed lemonade, served from a 1,350 to 1,600 square-foot bay in a strip center or busy suburban corridor. The franchisor runs one company store near Cincinnati as its training unit; the other 320-plus locations are franchised, and the count has held flat for three years. The investment is mid-six figures for a leased bay with a full cooking line, hood and POS, sometimes offset by a landlord allowance. Royalty is unusual: it steps from 2 to 8 percent of net sales based on that month's volume, with abatements for new units and purchases of underperforming restaurants, plus a 2 percent national fund. A managing owner with at least 10 percent equity must supervise on premises unless a general manager is approved. Item 19 is detailed, with unit-level sales, costs and EBITDA for 318 restaurants. Transfer fees range from $2,500 to $10,000.
