History

Established in 1972.

Customers have been enjoying the great taste of Port of Subs sandwiches for over 35 years. In 1972, two brothers from New Jersey opened a modest submarine shop in Sparks, Nevada called the «Sub Shop». John Larsen, a Public Accountant who had been advising the Sub Shop owners, seized the opportunity to purchase an interest in the business and later bought the business in 1975. After taking the helm, Larsen sponsored a community-​wide contest to choose a name for the Sub Shop to differentiate it from imitators. In a review of more than 10,000 contest entries, Larsen chose the name…“Port of Subs”.

Between 1975 and 1985 the Larsens developed ten company-​owned units. Throughout the years many people approached them asking for units in other cities because the quality and taste of their products was outstandingly unique. Therefore, with the help of Francorp, the nation’s largest franchise consulting firm, the company began franchising in 1985.
