Port of Subs Announces 20-Unit Deal for the Dallas-Fort Worth Suburban Region

Port of Subs® proudly announces its latest development deal. With 20 units expected to open across the Dallas-Fort Worth suburbs, this agreement is spearheaded by Texas-based entrepreneurs Robert and Nikki La Grace, a husband-and-wife team with deep ties to the region and a passion for community-building.

This deal will further its reach across Dallas, targeting Plano, Frisco, and its surrounding suburbs. The entrepreneurial duo bringing the brand to this part of the state has a diverse background. Robert brings a wealth of operational and strategic insight to the table. Nikki, who spent years supporting executive leadership before stepping into a more hands-on role at their children's school, shares Robert’s dedication to fostering meaningful connections in the community.

“We’ve always been deeply rooted in the communities we live in. From our involvement in local schools to supporting small businesses, community impact is at the heart of everything we do,” said Robert La Grace. “As long time Port of Subs fans, we felt aligned with not only the product, but the brand’s mission and values.”

Originally from California, the La Graces were already fans of the Port of Subs brand and were drawn to its community-centric approach to operations and menu items. The pair plans to open their first locations in fast-growing suburban hubs, including Plano and Frisco, with doors expected to open by the end of 2025.

"Robert and Nikki exemplify the kind of franchise partners we look for,” said Healey Mendicino, President of Port of Subs. “Their professional experience and local roots make them the perfect ambassadors for our brand in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. We’re proud to welcome them to the Port of Subs franchise family and are excited to support their journey as they introduce our brand to one of the most dynamic markets in the country.”
