Port of Subs Sparks Pacific Northwest Growth with 10 Units in Oregon

TL;DR

Port of Subs is expanding into Oregon with 10 new units, owned and operated by Scott and Karen Sigstad. The Sigstads plan to open their first location by September 2024, with a focus on areas like Eugene and Corvallis.

The Sigstad’s are an entrepreneurial duo who bring experience across sales, marketing, operations and business ownership. Though based in Reno, the pair has ties to Oregon and plans to become deeply involved in the day-to-day operations of each location they open.

“We have been loyal Port of Subs customers for quite a long time now,” said Scott Sigstad. “We knew we wanted to diversify our portfolio with a franchise brand, and it really made sense to get involved with a concept we stand behind.”

Site selection is well underway for the Sigstad family, who has a goal to open their first location by September 2024.

“Our daughter attends the University of Oregon, so we know just how much a concept like Port of Subs could thrive in places like Eugene and Corvallis, where so much of the population is built up of students,” said Jody Sigstad. The husband-and-wife team also has plans to open several restaurants of their own in this area down the line while developing their Port of Subs locations.

“Developers like Scott and Jody are a perfect candidate,“ says Healey Mendicino, President of Port of Subs. “They truly know how it takes to ensure each location thrives, and not only that, but how it will benefit the community at large. I look forward to watching their first location become a success in Oregon.”
