A husband and wife who own a local technology company have bought development rights to open 106 Dagwood’s Sandwich Shoppes in Greater Washington.
Curt and Cindy Anderson, founders of Nexus Technologies, signed a franchising contract with Clearwater, Fla.-based Dagwood’s in January. The contract allows the Andersons to open 63 stores in a territory covering D.C., Northern Virginia and west to Charlottesville, Va.

Okay, okay, I admit I’ve never eaten at Dagwood’s and I should not jump to conclusions. On the other hand, I have yet to eat anything that would qualify as a sub at a franchise. Maybe Dagwood’s will raise the bar. Maybe the bread will have an actual crust. Maybe the olive oil will have a personal relationship with olives. Maybe DC will get the vote. We’ll see.
Oh man, I just took a look at their website and found this nugget, “Dagwood’s is a franchise development and expansion company structured to become one of the fastest growing chains in history…” Now doesn’t that just make your mouth water?
It’s time I got out for a real sub, hoagie, grinder, hero, torpedo, wedge, zep…
Dagwood, of course, is the real deal, as is Blondie, no question. I do hope these shops do justice to their namesake.
