With a deep-rooted background in franchising and business operations, the duo brings decades of experience to this venture. Heather, an experienced entrepreneur, previously managed a portfolio of Supercuts locations before expanding into restaurant ownership with several Rosati’s Pizza locations.

Together, their leadership skills and commitment to operational excellence further position them for ownership with Port of Subs.

“Port of Subs commitment to quality stood out to us” said Heather. “W know firsthand how valuable it is to have a franchisor that provides guidance every step of the way, and the Port of Subs team exemplifies that. Port of Subs is a perfect fit for our next chapter in franchising, and we’re looking forward to introducing more Arizona communities to this brand.”
