Capriotti's Sandwich Shop has named David Bloom, a former Quizno's executives, its chief development officer.
"David's emphasis on growing brands domestically and internationally in the franchise and restaurant space is why we're so excited to have him on our team," Ashley Morris, CEO of Capriotti's, said in a company press release. "We are on the cusp of going from an operations-focused company with tremendous organic growth to a national sandwich franchise brand that we want to grow to 500 locations."
Bloom has been in franchising for more than 25 years and spent nearly 20 years with Quiznos, where he played a significant role in the sandwich chain's organizational growth as SVP of Brand Expansion, as well as being a large multi-unit owner and area developer, according to the release. Throughout his tenure, the company successfully opened more than 5,000 stores in 28 countries.
For the past year, Bloom has served as the president of Office Evolution, a franchised executive suite and virtual office provider.
"I am thrilled to join the Capriotti's team at such an exciting time for this company. With the recent capital investment and by bringing on the best resources in franchising, all of the pieces are in place," Bloom said. "Capriotti's has earned the credibility of a national brand through a superior product and an incredibly loyal customer following. There is also an exceptional business model here, as our franchisees have some of the highest average unit volumes in our category."
Capriotti's has more than 100 locations across the country.
