Capriotti's Sandwich Shop is set to reopen its Colorado Springs location at 5856 Barnes Rd. on September 15 under new corporate ownership. The 1,433-square-foot restaurant had closed, but its relaunch marks a fresh start for the brand in the area, with direct backing from corporate management. This move is significant as it demonstrates Capriotti's commitment to the Colorado Springs market and is the first step in a broader revitalization plan that includes the upcoming reopening of the Cheyenne Road location.
"We're excited to take over the Barnes Road location and serve Capriotti's loyal Colorado Springs fans under new corporate ownership," said Ashley Morris, Capriotti's CEO. "This community has always shown incredible passion for our subs, and we're committed to giving every guest the high-quality experience they deserve. Best of all, this is just the beginning. We're already gearing up to bring that same commitment to our Cheyenne Road location next." The corporate ownership model allows for streamlined operations and a renewed focus on customer service, which could set a precedent for other locations facing similar challenges.
The reopening celebration on September 15 will feature promotions throughout the day. The first 50 customers at 9 a.m. will receive a free small 8" sub for a future visit, and guests can spin a prize wheel for swag and prizes. A live radio remote from 2 to 4 p.m. will include a free-subs-for-a-year giveaway, followed by swag bag giveaways from 5 to 8 p.m. These events aim to re-engage the local community and generate excitement for the brand's return.
Capriotti's is known for its premium sandwiches, and the Barnes Road location will offer the full menu of fan favorites. Signature items include The Bobbie®, made with slow-roasted, hand-pulled Butterball® turkey, and the Classic Cheesesteak, an official member of the Cheesesteak Hall of Fame. The lineup also features the new Cooper Sharp® Cheesesteak for a limited time, along with subs made with ultra-premium American Wagyu from Snake River Farms®. This emphasis on quality ingredients aligns with the brand's reputation and could attract both loyal customers and new patrons.
Regular hours for the Barnes Road location are Sunday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Friday and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Capriotti's offers dine-in, pickup, and delivery options, as well as catering services for group events. Customers can join Capriotti's Rewards by providing a phone number at checkout or enrolling at capriottis.com/freesub, and opting in for SMS unlocks exclusive deals, including a free small 8" sub. Members also earn points on purchases, get early access to new menu items, and receive a birthday reward.
