Plans by Sandwich chain Newk’s Eatery to open six to 10 new Alamo City locations will create as many as 450 jobs, company CEO Frank Paci told Current on Wednesday.
Each of the restaurants, expected to open over the next five years, will employ 35 to 45 people, he explained.
The Mississippi-based sandwich chain currently has roughly 10 locations spread across the state, but none yet in the Alamo City. Based on the company’s performance in other Texas metros, San Antonio looks promising, according to Paci.
“We do well in College Station and Austin,” he said, adding that each Newk’s brings in around $2.4 million in annual sales.
The chain hasn’t yet identified specific locations for the new San Antonio restaurants. It’s looking to partner with local entrepreneurs and expand through franchising, Paci added.
