About Big Town Hero

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.
