You can now enjoy the award-winning taste of Charley's Grilled Subs in hundreds of locations, from Ohio to Hawaii to Alaska to Japan and beyond.

The menu also features chicken subs, delicious deli sandwiches and believe it or not...grilled salads. Wash it down with Charley's refreshing lemonades and you have a meal you won't soon forget. Charley's open kitchen environment and freshly prepared products are unique in the quick-serve fast food industry making it a very successful business to operate.

Charley's History

Company president and CEO Charley Shin opened his first restaurant in 1986 on the campus of The Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. Twenty-one years later his "really good" sandwich shop has grown to over 300 franchise units across the United States and in ten countries worldwide. Charley now has formed a team of professionals targeting leadership in both brand equity and store expansion within the Sub-sandwich niche of the Fast Casual Restaurant sector. With a national trend toward more healthful eating, grilled foods are rapidly gaining popularity over fried foods. Charley's menu specialties feature nutritionally beneficial foods, including made-to-order grilled steak or chicken sandwiches and gourmet fries, as well as freshly squeezed lemonades and a variety of fresh salads - therefore offering today's health-conscious and yet taste-loving consumers a better alternative to the higher-calorie and fat-laden menu offerings of most competitors.

Recent food and lifestyle trends show that today's restaurant patrons want quick service - but not necessarily those offered by "fast food" formulas. The Fast Casual concept that Charley's Grilled Subs restaurant offers its diners is a high-quality quick-service experience; with premium foods; energetic and attentive employees; enjoyed in a comfortable store ambiance and within a fun "watch-it-cooking" atmosphere. There's no compromising on taste with our premium fresh products and our made-to-order service that can fulfill every customer's food preferences.

In over 22 years of doing business, Charley's has been recognized at the "top" of numerous lists for successful franchising, entrepreneurship and management. A key strength of our operation is the ongoing franchisee support provided by our professional management team and our productive programs. As one franchisee stated, "This is the best business opportunity out there. The team at Charley's consistently develops products that taste best -- and then they provide the training and expertise to make it and serve it consistently the right way."

At Charley's Grilled Subs our mission is "To provide a GREAT experience to EVERY customer on EVERY visit" and to "Help our FRANCHISEES succeed by providing a simple restaurant system and continuous improvement to satisfy our Customers".

What do The Franchise Millionaire Clients say about Jerry Clum?

"My first franchising experience with Jerry was approximately ten years ago when he helped me become a franchisee for the first time.  My initial investment was reasonable and that first franchise was an astounding success.  I recently sold my franchise for $2.5 million, so of course when I was ready for my next venture I turned to Jerry once again.  I just recently signed a Master Franchise Agreement with one of the fastest growing franchised companies in the U.S.  Jerry was instrumental in making this happen.  I started with one franchise and he has helped me turn it into an empire.  I hope he is still doing this for many years to come because I will surely turn to him again and again."
Troy M. Tucson, AZ

“I had come to an impasse with my franchise of choice and didn’t know where to go next.  I came across an ad offering to help me cut through the noise and find a high value franchise -  and was very impressed – that is exactly what Jerry did for me.  In short order, he had determined my objectives and priorities and had provided me with a few good options.  He has coached me along the way and quickly solidified my relationship with the Franchise.  We are now ready to open our first store and I am thankful for the help in directing us to a business model that meets our needs so well.” 
Steve G. Andover, MN

"Working with Jerry saved me hundreds of hours. His access to the best franchise opportunities is worth gold.  He generously shared his expert knowledge, which is priceless.  When Jerry introduced me to franchisors, I benefited greatly from his reputation.  Thanks to Jerry’s contacts, expertise, patient coaching, and reputation, I own a great franchise business."
Daniel G. Fairfax, VA
