Chicago, Ill. / No. of units: 200+

Potbelly’s storied evolution from antique store to quintessential deli with more than 200 locations spread from the Midwest to the Northeast to Texas is one for the fast casual ages. Potbelly marries traditional deli sandwiches such as Black Angus roast beef, salami and/or turkey breast with modern, calorie-conscious modifications such as thin-cut bread, which eliminates one-third of the bread. Further unique concept touches include units that offer live music. Potbelly’s expansion continues in 2011 with several new units already lined up for construction.
