Cheesesteak Franchises
Not many cities can claim the credit for spawning an entire restaurant segment, but Philadelphia can. In 1930 Pat Oliveri, who sold hot dogs, decided one day it was time for something different for lunch. His creation was so appetizing that passers-by wanted a piece of the action, and the Philly Cheese Steak was born. Explore these cheese steak franchise opportunities to find your next investment!

Additional Information
There are plenty of franchised sandwich brands, but cheese steak franchises are focused very narrowly on a specific product. Some do offer a little menu variety, but the cheese steak is always the flagship product.
Ambassadors Of Taste
Much as with barbecue, which is a very specific local cuisine in some parts of the country, the Philly cheese steak has all sorts of local purveyors in its city of birth. As with barbecue, attempting to bring a mass-market brand into the place of a food?s birth is playing with fire. Fortunately, Philadelphia is only one city, so there is plenty of opportunity to offer this melty, drippy, beefy delight to the rest of America.
One attraction of the cheese steak is the opportunity to watch your sandwich made on the grill in front of you. Some brands capitalize on this to add consumer appeal. As a dish with big-city origins, the sandwich has the feel of street food, making it ideal for urban markets, but cheesesteak shops can succeed just about anywhere.
Focus!
While some cheese steak brand menus include other options, especially those common to a neighborhood shop in Philadelphia like pretzels or Italian ices, overall the menu is highly focused. This means fewer inventory items and less opportunity for spoilage, damage, or theft. Training employees becomes easier, although grilling a perfect cheese steak is doubtless more demanding than assembling a cold sub sandwich.
