Top 100: Charley's Grill Subs No. 97

March 27, 2011

97. Charley’s Grilled Subs

Columbus, Ohio / No. of units: 422

This Philly cheesesteak specialist calls itself one of the fastest-growing submarine chains in the world and it is expanding at a rapid pace. In 2010, the system added 38 new units, including its first in the Dominican Republic. Current planned growth calls for 46 new units in 2011, which would bring the company within striking distance of its goal of 500 locations by year end. International growth plays a big role in expansion: Charley’s will break ground in Brazil this spring and is working to increase its presence in the Middle East and Latin America.
