Oakville, Ontario, Canada, May 04, 2026 // GLOBE NEWSWIRE // -- A new premium sandwich lineup will be launched, available starting May 4. Designed for guests seeking a more substantial, satisfying option, the new sandwiches deliver bold flavours and high-quality ingredients. They are also built to travel well for takeout and delivery, maintaining freshness and quality while staying true to the brand’s “Feel Good After You Eat” promise.
Headlining the launch are two new toasted ciabatta sandwiches – Southwest Steak and Chicken Club – joining two updated fan favourites, Spicy Chipotle Chicken and Cranberry Pesto Chicken, now served on an 8″ toasted ciabatta bun.
In addition to the ciabatta lineup, two classic comfort sandwiches – Jalapeño Popper Grilled Cheese and Tuna Melt – now served on thicker, heartier sourdough bread for an upgraded eating experience.
All sandwiches are served with a choice of ranch or chipotle ranch signature dipping sauce, adding an extra layer of flavour.
“Our sandwiches were originally introduced to offer guests an alternative to salads, but they’ve evolved into a core menu offering,” said Karen Paradine, Head of Marketing at Chopped Leaf. “With this launch, we’ve elevated the lineup with premium ingredients and refined recipes that are more substantial and satisfying – ideal for heartier appetites. As takeout and delivery continue to grow, it was also important to ensure these sandwiches travel well, maintaining their quality and freshness.”
The launch will be accompanied by a marketing effort including in-store menu boards and window signage, digital promotion across the company’s website and social channels, influencer partnerships, third-party delivery promotions, and in-app offers. During May, loyalty points can be earned when purchasing sandwiches through the app. Some markets will also feature curb signage and radio advertising.
The new premium sandwich lineup will be available at all Chopped Leaf locations starting May 4.
