Capriotti’s Sandwich Shop Expands St. Louis Footprint with New Creve Coeur Locatio

Creve Coeur, MO - Capriotti's Sandwich Shop has opened its newest St. Louis-area location in Creve Coeur, led by local entrepreneur Jonathan Heslop. Known for its subs — like The Bobbie®, voted "Greatest Sandwich in America" — Capriotti's brings slow-roasted turkey and premium ingredients to the heart of the Creve Coeur business and medical district.

Heslop, a St. Louis native and Saint Louis University alumnus, is a seasoned entrepreneur with a diverse professional background spanning aviation, broadcasting to retail distribution, and is the founder of Rockwood Charcoal, a lump charcoal brand for a decade. After first discovering Capriotti's in Las Vegas in 2004 while pursuing his pilot career at the HeliExpo convention, Heslop was inspired to bring the brand to his hometown.

"I wanted a business that my four young sons could watch me scale and participate in," said Heslop. "Creve Coeur has a vibrant community with a large presence of hospitals and offices, and we are thrilled to establish our catering and lunch presence here. I was always disappointed that St. Louis didn't have more Capriotti's locations, so I decided to change that myself."

As a highly active member of the St. Louis community, Heslop is a 2026 St. Louis Titan100 award recipient and a member of the Entrepreneurs’ Organization. His commitment to the region extends from his work as a Realtor® to his past service on the local school board, along with his ongoing involvement in local bands and talk radio.

"I've always been driven by the idea of building something fresh and successful here in my hometown. Whether I was flying medical missions over Missouri or growing a national brand from my garage in Eureka, St. Louis has always been the foundation for my ventures. Opening this Capriotti's is a natural next step in that journey, allowing me to serve the community I love," said Heslop.

The 1,800-square-foot restaurant offers a menu including items such as the Classic Cheesesteak, and provides dine-in, pickup, and delivery options. For group events, the shop provides catering services, including party trays with subs and salads.
