THE BEGINNINGS Miami Subs® opened under the name Mr. Submarine in 1988 and soon changed its name to Miami Subs® which grew to become Florida’s largest regional sub and grill chain. It was started by Konstantinos “Gus” Boulis of Greek decent. Boulis started off as a fisherman before taking a job as a dishwasher at a Mr. Submarine sandwich shop. The original owners of Mr. Submarine, now known as Mr. Sub, were Jack Levinson and Earl Linzon who opened their first shop in Toronto Canada in 1968. It was Gus Boulis who showed Levinson and Linzon how to franchise. He soon was offered control of one of the stores, and shares in the corporation. In his five years with the company Boulis developed a chain of over 200 stores. The sale of the Boulis’s shares in the company in the mid-1970s made Boulis a multimillionaire at 25. In 1979, Boulis moved to Florida with the intent to retire, however he soon began building the popular Miami Subs® (Grill). He continued his success in the food business, expanding the Miami Subs® chain throughout Florida and beyond. Miami Subs® built the concept and expanded rapidly in the 90’s, starting in Florida and spreading quickly nationwide. Many were “A” locations, free standing buildings with drive-thru, as well as stores in non- traditional locations such as; schools, highway rest areas (particularly along Florida’s Turnpike) and airports. The restaurants featured distinctive exterior designs with Miami-inspired pastels trimmed with pink and blue, neon lights and interiors decorated in a tropical motif. However, in 1994 Boulis started “SunCruz” Casinos and took his eyes off Miami Subs®. He decided to sell the company in 1999 to Nathan’s Famous®. BRAND HISTORY 6 THE NATHAN’S Nathan’s Famous® purchased the chain bringing Nathan’s, Miami Subs®, ACQUISITION and Arthur Treacher’s brands under a common corporate umbrella. The chain had approximately 175 outlets at acquisition. This was more of a real estate transaction for Nathan’s as real estate values increased exponentially from 2000-2006. Miami Subs® owned very valuable hard corner proper- ties which Nathan’s sold off piece by piece to drug store chains and banks. Post-acquisition the chain struggled, due in part to instability in the manage- ment ranks and the sales of prime locations. In 2007, Nathan’s Famous announced the sale of Miami Subs® to a private investment group under the name of Miami Subs® Capital Partner 1 Inc. At the time of the sale, the chain had 59 locations. Management still struggled and finally a fresh vision was announced by bringing in a new CEO. In 2010 Richard Chwatt took over and began to revitalize the Miami Subs® brand. He wanted the excitement back in this aging brand that everyone had spoken about. His motto was to renovate, relocate or terminate to start the turn-around. The excitement came back and the vision and reality of Miami Grill® emerged. BRAND HISTORY 7 PITBULL JOINS In 2012, Armando Christian Perez, a.k.a. Pitbull joined the team as an AS EQUITY PARTNER equity partner bringing his star power to help our brand flourish. “I’m no longer just an artist. I’m a business partner. Daleeeeee!" – PITBULL The true legend and staying power of the brand is our food. It’s all about fresh food and choices. We feature, Philly cheesesteaks, wings, gyros, grilled seafood, handmade fresh Angus steak burgers, pitas, platters, garden fresh salads, hot and cold subs, chicken, breakfast and more. We also carry a great selection of craft beers, wines and legendary Dom Pérignon champagne. Dom Pérignon you ask? We sell Dom Pérignon because the founder “Gus” of Miami Subs® felt the best name in champagne was Dom Pérignon, and the best quality food was at Miami Subs®. So he put together a combination for $109.99—a bottle of Dom Pérignon and a dozen wings. A famous story has it that Madonna used to come after all of her shows. She would order the combo, and our drive-thru staff would hand it to her through the top of her limo. She’d be drinking “Dom” and enjoying her wings after her performances! It’s a fast casual concept that has a modern, fresh approach with a South Florida tropical flare. A look that is inspired by the Miami lifestyle. Every meal is prepared fresh before your eyes. It has something on the menu for everyone. As mentioned, research shows that couples argue 1.7 times per week where to eat. Our menu makes families happy! It is a strong Miami iconic brand that has been serving great food over its 25 years’ history.
