The giant sandwiches will soon be available at more Walmarts.
The young company is known for its long sandwiches, also known as hoagies, sandwiches or grinders.
Competitor Subway will now open 14 stores inside Walmarts.
No word yet on when locations will be able to begin serving.
NEW LEASE
Founded in 2019, the franchise now has just 6 locations, in Atlanta, Georgia.
The size is expected to almost triple after the agreement.
Although the franchise did not say where it would open stores, it did list several states that are scheduled to welcome new stores.
- Georgia
- North Carolina
- Oklahoma
- South Carolina
