Erbert & Gerbert's Sandwich Shop is a unique quick-service restaurant franchise that has been serving bold and flavorful sandwiches since it was founded in 1988 in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. The franchise was established by Kevin Schippers, who named it after characters from bedtime stories his father told him, adding a personal and creative touch to the brand.
The first store opened in 1988, and by 2004, Erbert & Gerbert's began franchising, expanding its footprint across the Midwest.
The franchise distinguishes itself in the highly competitive sandwich industry by offering adventurous and unique sandwiches and soups that are unlike the typical fare found in other chains. With a focus on bold flavors and quality ingredients, Erbert & Gerbert's has carved out a niche that resonates with its target market.
