About Planet Sub

The Planet Sub franchise has grown from its Midwest heritage to expand across the US. Now, we are inviting you to join the Planet Sub franchise family at a time when our vision and mission have never been stronger.

What does that mean for you? It means you get all the benefits of an established (and loved) brand, and that you can join a concept that isn’t just a blast to operate and wildly delicious, but also one that’s been built on proven ground.

We don’t just boast freshness in our marketing, we live it at each Planet Sub franchise location. We operate at a higher level of quality than any of our competitors. This gives us the ability to advertise with a true point of difference, and gives us a pride in our work that spreads through every employee, into every sandwich we make.
