TL;DR

Port of Subs has announced a 10-unit development deal in California with entrepreneurial couple Loveleen and Talwinder Baghri. The agreement will see the brand expand across the Central California Valley, with the first location set to open in Modesto by the end of 2025.

MODESTO. Calif. - Port of Subs® proudly announces its latest development deal. Detailing 10 units across the Central California Valley, the agreement is in partnership with entrepreneurial couple, Loveleen and Talwinder Baghri.

Both individuals bring strong backgrounds to this venture, holding various roles at a high-profile technology company. Loveleen has held several positions focused on marketing and logistics, while Talwinder’s expertise is within operations management. As they establish their initial restaurants, the duo will focus on strategic development in target markets such as Clovis, Fresno, and Modesto, with the first location on track to open in Modesto by the end of 2025.

"We knew Port of Subs was the right fit for us from the very beginning,” said Loveleen. "I’ve considered the San Joaquin Valley my home for decades and have spent my whole life contributing to these cities, so after meeting the Port of Subs team, Talwinder and I knew we wanted to join the brand. Our goal is to create an environment employees love, neighbors gather, and an establishment each community can rely on.”

With plans to eventually open a store in their hometown of Clovis, the Baghris are focused on embedding themselves into local neighborhood markets, hosting events, and creating a fun, team-driven environment for both staff and guests.

“Loveleen and Talwinder are exactly the kind of partners we look for—passionate leaders who are invested in their communities and committed to quality,” said Healey Mendicino, President of Port of Subs.
