Knuckies Hoagies, a fast-growing, feel-good franchise whose bread is so delicious that they created a sandwich brand to go with it, is continuing its momentum with plans to open 14 new stores across the U.S. by 2025, an expansion that will include both Walmart locations and standalone stores.
Knuckies, known for its bread, burgers and big-name partnerships, opened seven locations last year and made its way into Oklahoma.
Knuckies Hoagies plans to grow by expanding into new markets including Ohio, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas by the end of 2025.
The brand will also continue to grow in Georgia, where it is headquartered. Following last year’s partnership agreement, the majority of the new store openings will be located within Walmart anchor stores, marking an exciting new chapter in Walmart’s efforts to elevate and diversify its portfolio of regional brands.
“We’re committed to making a real impact – one sandwich at a time, one customer at a time, one community at a time. As we grow, we’re looking for partners who are just as passionate about getting out there, connecting with people, and spreading the positive energy of Knuckies,” said Todd Broaderick, founder of Knuckies Hoagies. “Partnering with Walmart is a phenomenal opportunity, helping us reach more customers and expand into new markets while continuing to make a positive impact in the communities we serve.”
Knuckies Hoagies was born from a humble bread experiment, turned into a huge success, and has grown into a much larger business, winning enthusiastic applause and cheers along the way. Backed by partnerships with major companies such as Walmart, Sysco, Engelman’s Bakery, and PepsiCo, the brand offers franchisees a great economic opportunity while providing customers with the same great sandwiches.
Founded in 2019, Knuckies Hoagies is a fast-growing sandwich franchise that was born from a humble bread experiment, turned into a huge success.
When veteran restaurateur Todd Broaderick took over an award-winning pizza creation, his crust was a sensation. Todd began to wonder what else could be created with this delicious dough. He experimented in his home kitchen, prototyped a world-class sandwich roll, and worked with a renowned bakery to perfect the recipe. When the bakery declared it the best roll they’d ever baked, Todd knew he was on to something, and decided to open a custom sandwich shop to go with it.
Today, Knuckies Hoagies (named for the enthusiastic fist bump Todd and his team gave each other while developing the concept) has a partnership with Walmart and a multi-distribution agreement with Sysco, with franchise opportunities across the Southeastern United States.
Known for its sandwiches and salads made with fresh vegetables and ultra-thin-sliced meats, a variety of award-winning grilled sandwiches, and signature homemade sauces, Knuckies’ mission is to inspire and uplift, changing lives one sandwich, one guest, and one community at a time.
