## Story

Port of Subs® proudly announces its latest development deal. With 10 units expected to open across Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho, including Kennewick, Pasco, Richland, Spokane, and Coeur d'Alene, this agreement is in partnership with Navy veteran and entrepreneur Ben Pearson.

With Pearson’s military background and over 20 years of management experience, he is prepared to take the brand to the next level in this region.

"Port of Subs' dedication to quality and community perfectly aligns with my vision for business growth," said Pearson. "Growing up in Spokane, I saw firsthand the value of local connections and wanted to bring something meaningful to the region. Port of Subs stood out for its strong values and commitment to excellence. I'm excited to introduce these new locations to the Tri-Cities."

This latest regional development agreement will target key cities, including locations in Spokane’s major hubs, as well as expansion into Walla Walla, Ritzville, and Northern Idaho. Pearson aims to open the first location in September 2025, with site selection currently underway.
