Making a GREAT Hoagie

What makes a sandwich great? Ask Chris Shimer, owner of Capriotti’s Sandwich Shops

Want to make the perfect sandwich? Capprioti's was founded in Wilmington, Delaware in 1976 and has grown to over 100 shops in 27 states. In our area, try one of four Capriotti's Sandwich Shops - owned by Chris Shimer.

Shimer always knew he wanted to be an entrepreneur. Before getting involved with Capriotti's Sandwich Shop, Chris had a job near one of his now four locations. This is where he first found his love for the Sandwich Shop. After moving job locations, Chris would still take the thirty-minute drive to a Capriotti's for lunch because their sandwiches were so irresistible.

Shimer and his staff take many different qualities into account when providing the perfect sandwich. They specialize in using prime ingredients, roasting whole Butterball turkeys every night, and hand pulling them in the morning, delivering fresh, high-quality every day. 
 
Sandwiches are portable, easy-to-eat, and can be customized the way YOU want and you don't have to stick to the basics at Capprioti's. For example, there's a Thanksgiving leftover sandwich! They take all our favorite Thanksgiving dishes and wrap them up into a sandwich. Named "The Bobbie®," it was voted "The Greatest Sandwich in America". If you haven't tried a Bobbie® yet, get ready for slow-roasted turkey topped with cranberry sauce, handmade stuffing and mayo. Then there's one of the fan favorites, the Capastrami®. This classic is filled with hot pastrami, melting Swiss cheese, fresh crunchy cole slaw and Russian dressing. Capriotti’s also includes a selection of vegetarian sandwiches, Vegetarian Cole Turkey®, Impossible™ Cheese Steak and salad options, providing a delicious alternative.

Capriotti’s meats are carefully selected; home-made slow-roasted turkey, American Wagyu beef, homemade meatballs, italian sausage, home-made tuna salad, freshly sliced deli meats, chicken steak and a variety of cheeses are all available for your choosing. 

Capriotti’s has a wide selection of cheeses and will make your sandwich, hoagie, cheesesteak and more with any cheese in stock.  Extra cheese? No problem.

An important step to making the perfect sandwich is to acquire the perfect bread.  At Capriotti’s the bread has the right balance of crunchy and soft.  Attention is also paid towards the balance of meat to bread to toppings. And there are 4 sizes of hoagies available, small, medium, large and extra large.

The correct amount of meat, paired with the correct amount of toppings, and the perfect bread are what make Capriotti’s different from the rest. Chris’ staff has been committed to providing care, effort, attention and time into every sandwich they make, to ensure the perfect sandwich happiness for their customers. Because of this attention to quality, there are now four Capriotti’s locations in the Shimer group. "We wouldn’t have made it this far without customer feedback. We are always looking for input and new ways to improve for our customers" according to Shimer. Capprioti's Sandwich Shop is ready to make you a great sandwich in Springfield, Glen Mills, Royersford and North Wales.
