PrimoHoagies is celebrated for its authentic Italian-style sandwiches, featuring high-quality meats and cheeses layered on its signature seeded bread.

PrimoHoagies offers a form of territory protection, but it is conditional and not absolute. Each franchisee is assigned a territory, which may vary in size based on demographics, population density, and other factors.
However, if a territory is not formally defined in the Franchise Agreement, the protection is limited solely to the approved location of the franchisee’s restaurant. The franchisor agrees not to license or establish another PrimoHoagies within a franchisee's designated territory as long as it is formally defined.
In addition, PrimoHoagies reserves significant rights, including the ability to market, advertise, and sell through alternative channels like online platforms within the franchisee’s territory.
