Iconic national chain known for toasted subs since 1977 opens new location
After departing about a decade ago, a national chain known for toasted sub sandwiches is coming back to their University District roots again.
Potbelly Sandwiches opened their 2108 N. High St., location today, January 14th, in the spot that once housed Papa John’s, which closed last year. Regular operating hours are from 9 AM to 11 PM Sunday through Wednesday and 9 AM to 12 AM Thursday through Saturday.
To celebrate the opening, the shop will offer fans a free Original Sandwich with the purchase of a Big or Original Sandwich when ordered on Potbelly.com or through the Potbelly app with promo code “BOGO”. Each of the first 100 guests will receive a free cookie and 15% of all sales during the grand opening weekend (January 18-19) will be donated to The Ohio State University Student Life Food Pantry, which serves the 15% of students facing food insecurity.

Randy Pianin, Chief Executive Officer of Royal Restaurant Group, said that he was looking for a new spot for Potbelly that was accessible to students, and a place with a lot of foot traffic. “Many of our target demographics are students like those at OSU; and we knew it would be the perfect place to offer Potbelly’s extensive menu and sides, no matter when hunger strikes,” said Pianin.
Back in November of last year, Royal Restaurant Group and Potbelly announced a completion of a 40-unit development agreement throughout Ohio and Florida, including developing new shops throughout Columbus.
Potbelly first opened in Chicago in 1977 in an old antique store, utilizing the antique oven already there to create concoctions of warm, toasty sandwiches. Since then, this iconic neighborhood sandwich concept, Potbelly, has expanded to 430 more shops in the United States.
Their menu features loaded toasted subs, large salads, soups, chips, cookies, and even mac & cheese and milkshakes.
