Port of Subs Ignites New Development Deal in Texas

Texas is on its way to a sub-sandwich revolution. Port of Subs announced its latest regional development agreement today which will introduce the iconic brand to a new market. Leading the charge on this culinary revolution are Chuck and Nicole Goddard, who signed on to develop units in the Greater Austin area over the next few years.

The Goddard’s bring a stacked background in business and management experience to the table. Chuck has over two decades of software development experience under his belt and grew up surrounded by restaurant ownership, specifically in the sandwich industry, with his family having previously owned several Subway locations. Nicole is highly skilled in team management and leadership-oriented roles, and currently serves as a board member for various organizations across Austin.

The Goddard’s decision to join Port of Subs marks the second restaurant concept added to their franchising portfolio as they are currently developing several Daddy’s Chicken Shack locations as well.

With site selection underway, the Goddard’s are aiming to open their first Port of Subs location by the end of 2024. Areas like Northwest Austin are key in their real estate search, with a particular emphasis on the Cedar Park and Leander.

“We are thrilled to be entering a brand-new state and lay the groundwork for a remarkable year,” said Healey Mendicino, President of Port of Subs. “It’s a great feeling to know that we have great franchisees, like Chuck and Nicole, who exemplify the very best of what our brand stands for. We’re excited to continue supporting them as they join the Port of Subs family.”
