Overview

Sourdough & Co. is a fast-casual sandwich and salad franchise that brings a premium dining experience to the quick-service restaurant (QSR) industry. Founded in 2015 and franchising since 2021, the brand focuses on high-quality ingredients, preservative-free menu items, and a personalized customer experience. By offering healthier, natural alternatives in a clean and welcoming environment, Sourdough & Co. differentiates itself from traditional sandwich chains.

Franchise owners benefit from a scalable, proven business model with strong brand recognition. The franchise provides extensive support in real estate selection, lease negotiation, operational training, and marketing strategies. With a semi-absentee ownership option, franchisees can oversee strategic operations while a general manager handles daily management. With no grills or fryers, the kitchen setup remains simple, making operations efficient and easy to manage.

This franchise is ideal for business-minded individuals with strong leadership and management skills. No prior restaurant experience is required, but successful owners should be performance-driven, community-oriented, and capable of executing local marketing strategies to grow their business.
