Port of Subs dropping anchor in Florida

August 2, 2024

Reno-based Port of Subs is entering Florida via a 10-unit deal with husband and wife, Chris and Georgia Goddard.

"Our adventure with Port of Subs began thanks to my brother, Chuck, who was already a regional developer with the brand in Austin," Chris Goddard said in a company press release. "He was raving about their business model and community-centric values, and after reviewing the concept and trying the product, I knew it had the potential for widespread growth in our community, too. Our mission is to make Port of Subs a household name in the Orlando area, bringing the same quality and fresh experience that reminds me of the sub shops my parents owned when I was a kid."

Backed by Area 15 Ventures and RE/MAX Co-Founder Dave Liniger, the brand is driving nationwide growth for the first time in its 50-year legacy. With over 220 units in development, the demand for Port of Subs solidifies the draw of its rich history and stellar business model, said Healey Mendicino, president of Port of Subs

"We are thrilled to welcome Chris and Georgia to our expanding group of regional developers and elite Twenty Club, Mendicino said in the release. "Their focus and strategic vision aligns perfectly with our brand growth, and we're excited to see them become an integral part of introducing Port of Subs into the Orlando community."
