Port of Subs is a beloved American chain specializing in submarine sandwiches, with its origins in Reno, Nevada. From its humble beginnings, it has expanded to become a culinary favorite, particularly in the Western United States.
The story of Port of Subs started in 1972 when John Larsen launched his first "Sub Shop" in Sparks, Nevada. The concept quickly gained traction, leading to a rebranding in 1975 to distinguish it from competitors, and it was then christened as Port of Subs.
Today, Port of Subs is celebrated for its delicious subs, wraps, salads, desserts, and an assortment of beverages, offering a delightful dining experience for its patrons.
In 1985, Port of Subs ventured into franchising, capitalizing on its success from the previous years.
