History
Established in 1976.
Lois Margolet grew up in Wilmington, Delaware, in a neighborhood known as Little Italy. Lois had a dream to open her own sandwich shop. In 1976, Lois quit her full-time job, borrowed money and purchased a boarded-up building on North Union Street in Wilmington, where the original Capriotti’s Sandwich Shop still stands. Lois, along with her brother Alan Margolet, decided to open a sandwich shop on the first floor, while she lived on the second floor. They named the sandwich shop after their grandfather, Philip Capriotti, who loved to cook for them.
Their concept was to capture the hearts of «real turkey lovers,» an idea that would separate Capriotti’s Sandwich Shop from almost all of its competition. They served sandwiches made-to-order with fresh roasted pulled turkey, the best quality meats and cheeses, and fresh rolls and produce delivered daily. Today, Capriotti’s Sandwich Shops located around the country are carrying on the tradition begun in Delaware over 30 years ago.
