Award-Winning Sandwich Concept Expands in Arkansas with the Debut of Its Second Location
SPRINGDALE, Ark., March 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Capriotti’s Sandwich Shop (Capriotti’s), known for its award-winning, hand-crafted cheesesteaks, turkey subs and more, has now opened its newest location in Springdale. Located at 601 N Thompson St, Suite 100, this new store marks the second Capriotti’s venture for local entrepreneur Matthew Matt, who also operates the Bentonville location.
Meet the Local Franchise Owner:
A lifelong entrepreneur, Matthew Matt previously owned and operated 10 family-run doughnut shops in Philadelphia for nearly a decade before relocating to Northwest Arkansas with his wife. Drawing on his extensive restaurant experience, Matthew turned to the franchise model as a strategic way to scale with the backing of proven processes and infrastructure. Capriotti’s stood out for its commitment to quality, operational consistency and collaborative corporate team. Building on his success in Northwest Arkansas, Matt plans to open six additional Capriotti’s locations across the state.
“Opening our Springdale location is an exciting next step for our family and our team,” said Matt. “We’ve experienced firsthand the strength of Capriotti’s support system and the quality that sets the brand apart, and we’re proud to keep growing in Northwest Arkansas as we begin serving the Springdale community.”
Capriotti’s is known for its wide array of sandwiches including:
- The Bobbie: Known as the Greatest Sandwich in America, this iconic Capriotti’s sub is created with slow-roasted, hand-pulled turkey, cranberry sauce, stuffing and mayo.
- Capastrami: A bold flavor bomb that means business – this fan favorite is stacked with piping-hot pastrami, melted Swiss, zesty Russian dressing, and a crunchy layer of house-made coleslaw. It’s craveable and unapologetically delicious.
- Cheesesteaks: Loaded with a choice of juicy premium steak, prime-grade American Wagyu from Snake River Farms (R), savory chicken, or Impossible™ plant-based meat smothered in gooey melted cheese, mushrooms, grilled onions and your pick of grilled hot or sweet peppers. It’s comfort food with an edge.
