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
