Goodcents Deli Fresh Subs is a well-established franchise in the fast-casual dining industry, known for its high-quality deli subs, fresh-baked bread, and pasta. The company was founded in 1989 in the Kansas City metropolitan area and is currently headquartered in DeSoto, Kansas.

Originally launched under the name Mr. Goodcents, the franchise rebranded to Goodcents Deli Fresh Subs and has grown significantly over the years. Goodcents Deli Fresh Subs differentiates itself in the competitive sandwich market by emphasizing freshness and quality.

Training 

Goodcents Deli Fresh Subs provides its franchisees with comprehensive training designed to ensure their success in operating a franchise. The training program includes several key components:

  1. Initial Training: Franchisees and their management teams undergo hands-on training at an established Goodcents location. This training covers all aspects of restaurant operations, including food preparation, customer service, inventory management, and maintaining the brand's standards of quality and cleanliness.
  2. Ongoing Support: After the initial training, Goodcents offers continued support through regular site visits, operational evaluations, and additional training sessions as needed. This ongoing support helps franchisees stay up-to-date with new processes, menu updates, and best practices in the industry.
  3. Marketing and Business Training: Goodcents also provides training focused on local store marketing, customer engagement, and financial management to help franchisees effectively promote their businesses and maintain profitability. This training is designed to equip franchisees with the tools they need to grow their customer base and manage their operations efficiently.

Territory Protection

Goodcents Deli Fresh Subs typically offers territory protection to its franchisees, ensuring that they have exclusive rights to operate within a designated geographic area. 

This means that no other Goodcents franchise can be opened within the protected territory, allowing franchisees to fully develop and serve their market without direct competition from another Goodcents location. 

The specific details of the territory size and protection are outlined in the franchise agreement, providing franchisees with clarity and security regarding their exclusive rights.
