History

Founded by restaurateur Jeff Sinelli, CEO of Genghis Grill, in 2003, Which Wich began with one location in downtown Dallas. It began franchising in 2005.

Business

Which Wich is known for its ordering system, in which customers use red sharpies to mark up pre-printed menus on sandwich bags. They select a sandwich from 10 categories, then choose the bread, cheese, spreads, and toppings. The sandwiches are then prepared, and delivered in the personalized sandwich bags. Guests are encouraged to draw on their bags using red Sharpies and hang their “artwork” on the community wall.

Which Wich sells customizable submarine sandwiches it calls "Wiches". There are ten categories and 60 topping options. Sandwiches come in small (7 inch), medium (10.5 inch) and large (14 inch) sizes.

In 2007, the chain ranked as the fastest growing restaurant chain concept with 50 operating stores or less, opening 9 locations during a four-month period at the beginning of the year. In 2009, the chain ranked as the sixth fastest-growing concept in the industry, according to restaurantchains.net.
