Our story begins in 1981: Big Town Hero was then just a twinkle in the eye of a young college student. His
idea: to provide a healthy, better-tasting alternative to fast-food
restaurants - a sandwich shop that served great food with great service
to match.
Our founder created his experience in the sandwich business in the
college town of Corvallis, Oregon. His unique, fresh sandwiches on
homemade bread were an immediate success, and the Big Town legend was
born (Campus Hero back then).
Today, Big Town Hero is a culinary destination throughout the western
United States; each store features an on-site bakery where we prepare
our fabulous, famous bread efficiently from scratch daily. Our stores
are growing as fast as our reputation: The Ultimate Sandwich is back and
better than ever!
Through our growth and expansion, one thing will always remain unchanged - our unwavering commitment to fresh quality and legendary service.
DRUXY'S is growing and has opportunities for you to become part of the DRUXY'S Family. We aim to provide a very special level of service for each of our customers. We see simply satisfying customer needs as a service failure. Much more than need satisfaction is required, and as such, we work to develop personal relationships with our customers. By developing these relationships we are able to generate average customer frequency of 4.5 times per week. This compares to an industry average of 4.5 times per year. More importantly, over half of our business comes from regular customers who frequent DRUXY'S an average of 4 times per day. This loyalty is the direct result of the exceptional personal service that we offer our customers each and every time they visit our restaurant.DRUXY'S vision for the future sees us growing by 6 - 12 locations per year over the next 5 years. DRUXY'S is currently undertaking an expansion program that will target key health care centres throughout the Province of Ontario. We are confident that our commitment to a fresh, healthy menu perfectly positions DRUXY'S to take advantage of the growing concern for health conscious eating. This concern is of paramount importance in a hospital setting. We find it interesting that the major fast food companies have followed in our footsteps by incorporating fresh salads and sandwiches into their menus. Since 1976, our experience has given us a foothold in the market, as we are the benchmark against which the competition is compared. Our extensive and ever expanding and evolving menu of 23 sandwiches, 30 salads and 32 soups and chili makes us a difficult and moving target. As a result, DRUXY'S is a welcome addition to any retail food service venue.
