Franchise Opportunity

I'm a huge fan of Lee's Sandwiches. Their sandwiches are delicious, their prices are affordable and they have locations all over the Bay Area. But there's one thing that irks me about Lee's Sandwiches and it's this - their menu is always changing! Every time I go to order my favorite sandwich, the ingredients change! And not just a little bit either. Sometimes it tastes completely different than what I had before. It drives me crazy because now I don't know if I can trust them anymore! That's why when you become an official Lee's Sandwich franchisee, you'll never have to worry about your recipes ever again! You'll have access to our proprietary recipe database that allows you to create any combination of ingredients in whatever quantities you want for every single item on our menu at any given time without having to worry about whether or not those ingredients will be available when someone orders them from
