2wI can unequivocally state that i traded for the 1st sandwich potbelly sold when the brothers owned the potbelly antique store on Lincoln ave. I was 14-15 i believe. I kived on orchard street behind the shop and traded a $4 wood organ pipe for a sandwich. I realized than it was the best sammie on the mkt. Ps the Danon frozen yogurt shakes were a stellar addition with the famous Amos cookies around the straws. Always willing to speak at a conference. Also i attempted to purchase the brand just after it was sold unknowingly. Oh well my taste buds were on point.
