Cappriotti’s Sandwich Shop was founded by Lois Margolet and her brother, Alan, in 1976, in Wilmington, Delaware, where sandwich shops were abundant. They knew they needed to set their business apart from the competition, so they focused on creating the perfect sandwich for “real turkey lovers'' by roasting whole, fresh turkeys overnight. They were later joined by their cousin, Diane Rizzo, who opened additional locations which were equally successful. In fact, their commitment to the highest quality food combined with their unique business formula proved to be so successful, they began to offer franchising.
Today, their fanatically-delicious, slow-roasted, hand-pulled Butterball® turkey, hand-rolled meatballs, and American Wagyu steak provide the solid foundation that sets them apart from any and all competitors in the sandwich space. These not only serve as the meat of their sandwiches but also as the meat of their brand.
The company’s mission is to share their passion, one sandwich at a time. Today, Capriotti’s Sandwich Shops are located around the block and across the country as they continue the tradition that started in Delaware over 30 years ago.
