GULF BREEZE, Fla. — The area's first Dagwood's Sandwich Shoppes is scheduled to open July 19 in Gulf Breeze, Fla. The Gulf Breeze Shoppe will be the fourth for Dagwood's rapidly growing chain.
Dagwood's executive chef, Emeril Lagasse-trained Geoffrey Rhodes', along with Blondie creator Dean Young, have created what the chain believes are "the greatest sandwiches on the planet."
In addition to the namesake "Dagwood" sandwich, guests may select from a variety of Signature Sandwiches including the Cuban, New Orleans Roast Beef Po-Boy, Chicken Curry Swirl and a variety of wraps, salads, soups and desserts.
Lance Harris, Dagwood's Sandwich Shoppes Market Partner, is at the helm of the area's first Shoppe as well as ongoing franchise development. Harris holds the exclusive franchise rights to develop and open 43 Shoppes across southern Alabama and the Florida panhandle over the next five years. The Gulf Breeze Shoppe will serve as the training location for all area franchisees.
