Job Description
Potbelly Sandwich Works began in 1977 as a little antique store in Chicago. One day, the owners decided to bolster business by making toasted sandwiches. This was a stroke of genius. Soon, people who had no interest in antiques were enjoying sandwiches by the store’s old potbelly stove. Cookies were baked. Local musicians came to perform. Lines grew. And the little antique store became a totally unique sandwich joint and Chicago cult classic.

Since then, Potbelly has expanded to more than 185 stores in multiple states and is growing by leaps and bounds across the U.S. We’re found in such diverse areas as college campuses, downtown city blocks, and the ’burbs.  Our plan is to increase our store count by 25% each year!
