About Us
The Samuel Mancino's name is well-known throughout communities as a reliable source of quality and value, particularly noted by our famous oven-baked grinders and a welcoming environment that combine to create a memorable dining experience.
We offer the value of fast food and the amenities of full service making ourselves a destination for both lunch and dinner.

Why Choose Samuel Mancino's?
Decades of development, planning, and perfection have gone into creating our famous grinder sandwiches, gourmet pizzas, and other Italian-inspired cuisine made only from the finest products, inspiring our tagline: Gourmet Your Way.

- Support and value our franchisees to optimize their ability to succeed:
- Four-week training and shadowing program.
- Site selection guidance and lease negotiation.
- Build out and store design assistance.
- Marketing and operational support.
- Strong lines of communication between corporate headquarters and franchisees.
- Keep our customers enthusiastically saying, "I love Samuel Mancino's!" by offering quality and care at affordable prices:
- We welcome our customers as family in a comfortable, fast-casual environment.
- A recent customer study proved our customer loyalty, showing that they visit several times per month for our superior food quality.
- Experts agree that our fast-casual concept that focuses on fresh, gourmet ingredients and ethnic flavors will continue to gain popularity among the US consumer.
Ideal Candidate
Unlike many franchise models, our intention is not to create the largest franchise that seeks fast growth and profit at the expense of its people. Our intention, instead, is to cultivate a franchise that achieves discerning quality and care, so we may be proud of its every aspect. A key part of upholding such a culture is selecting the absolute best franchisees that will invest in multiple units with a spirit of desire, enthusiasm and drive. Potential franchisees must have a minimum of $150,000 in liquid capital and a strong work ethic. Contact us today if you are interested!
