Port of Subs President and CEO Healey Mendicino recently shared what makes the brand’s next chapter so compelling, and why it’s creating real opportunity for both franchisees and Regional Developers. In the CityBiz Interview, she explains that Port of Subs is growing with intention: preserving the neighborhood feel that defines the brand while building the systems, tools, and support needed to scale nationally.

What stands out most is that Port of Subs is in a rare position. The brand brings decades of credibility, a product people love, and significant open territory still ahead. As Healey puts it, Port of Subs is “in a sweet spot,” with smart growth focused on protecting franchisee profitability and creating long-term value.

She also highlights the importance of strong infrastructure behind growth, from training and supply chain to marketing, operations, technology, and real estate strategy. For Regional Developers, that means the chance to build a market and create long-term equity. For franchisees, it means stronger local support from someone who understands the market and can help drive performance.

At the center of it all is a leadership approach built around being people-first, performance-driven, and purpose-led, with a clear focus on helping franchisees grow, strengthening operations, and building a brand that earns respect one neighborhood at a time.
