Earl of Sandwich, Urban League partner

April 4, 2007

ORLANDO, Fla. — Fast-casual chain Earl of Sandwich has entered into an agreement with the National Urban League that awards the organization two franchise stores in exchange for promoting other Earl of Sandwich locations nationwide. Proceeds from the locations will help support Urban League programs beyond traditional means of grants and donations.

As part of the partnership, NBA legend and Earl of Sandwich's director of corporate development, Sidney Green, will work with the Urban League to encourage professional athletes to own development territories across the country. The Urban League will assume ownership of the two "community" franchises at a press conference in Orlando, Fla., scheduled in June.
