Runza Restaurants vs Pocket Deli Franchise Comparison

Owning a Runza Restaurant isn't just about serving sandwiches - it's about serving communities. We opened our first restaurant in Lincoln, Nebraska, in 1949, and we're still a family-owned business serving communities in Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado and Iowa. Keeping it close to home ensures each Runza Restaurant gets hands-on support from headquarters, and each Runza meal is made with the same commitment to quality, chain-wide. We're always on the lookout for great people to become part of our family and grow Runza 's presence in the areas we serve. If you're interested, we encourage you to learn more about our process and how we support franchises. Then, peruse other Frequently Asked Questions and read some Franchisee success stories.

We are actively seeking Franchisee candidates in Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, Iowa, Missouri and Wyoming only.

Pocket Deli is excited to announce the availability of Franchises throughout the United States.  We are committed to the growth of Pocket Deli and bringing what we believe to be the Best Sandwich Experience to everyone.
