About Box Lunch

Box Lunch is a no-frills fast service Sandwich Shop. We don't cook!! We feature Rolled PITA bread sandwiches (the Rollwich?) and use only the best quality ingredients. The perception of the general public is that we are a healthy alternative to Fried food. Our ingredients appeal to a broad demographic, and are neither healthfood nor ethnically oriented. Our speed results from our basic operating system. We can easily feed 250 people per hour with a small crew and in a small space. We are perfectly suited to take-out, and to drive-up service. Our average per-customer is about $7.00, food costs of about %30, and our competition is anyone else in that price range. Start-up costs for Box Lunch are reasonable (usually under $120,000) and our fees are low. Some freedom of menu offerings is possible, and "home-cooked" sides and desserts are encouraged, but optional. We do NOT allow fried food or alcohol to be sold from our stores; it's just bad for our image.

About Primo Hoagies

We are very enthused and excited to be able to offer, to certain qualified individuals, an opportunity to purchase one of a limited number of PrimoHoagies franchises. Our venture into franchising has been made possible, and somewhat necessitated, by an increasingly hard to manage workload at our existing locations. This is the result of a growing recognition and demand for our product in the outlying areas of Philadelphia.
 
This offer presents the opportunity to own and operate your own business, with the security of having a name and product recognition that is well established, along with a formula that has proven to be greatly successful. Through on-going consultation, you will benefit greatly from the knowledge and expertise provided by the people who originated PrimoHoagies and subsequently established it as one of the most popular retail food institutions throughout the area and beyond.  
 
 
We enthusiastically believe that our unique and diverse menu, along with our widespread reputation for unconditional quality, will be a springboard for success in this franchise opportunity. We will not, however, make any claims of instant prosperity based solely on the reputation that Primo has established up to this point. The end result will ultimately depend on your diligent work and total commitment to achieve success in your business and eventually reap the benefits of your accomplishments.
