New regional developer Mandy Miller leads the brand’s first push into a high-potential Southern California market

  • Port of Subs appoints Mandy Miller as 19th regional developer.
  • Expansion planned in Southern San Diego, targeting areas like Coronado and Chula Vista.
  • Mandy Miller partnering with her father, Jim Rowe, a franchise veteran.
Port of Subs is setting sail in Southern California, navigating the uncharted waters of Southern San Diego with Mandy Miller at the helm. Appointed as the 19th regional developer, Miller's mission is to carve a path for the chain's expansion—a feat she approaches with both familial partnership and seasoned expertise. Her realm now encompasses Coronado, Chula Vista, and neighboring communities, where she plans to anchor at least 10 new locations, with visions of further expansion gleaming on the horizon.

In a strategic twist that reads like a family saga, Miller joins forces with her father, franchise sage Jim Rowe, to embark on this commercial adventure. San Diego, a blank slate void of any Port of Subs presence, beckons as a 'unique white space,' ripe for shaping a meaningful franchise narrative. Mandy's deep industry roots, sprouting from her experience transforming a wellness brand from one location to a booming 50-unit success, lend her both the clout and the vision necessary for such an endeavor.

As the sub franchise eyes the California coast, the mastermind duo has caught the attention of none other than Healey Mendicino, CEO and president of Port of Subs. Mendicino lauds their franchise acumen and community ties, which promise a high-performing network, strengthening the brand's westward journey.

In the world of franchising, where strategic alliances and insightful expansion shape success, tools like Gorilla Dash franchise software prove indispensable.
