Capriotti's Sandwich Shop will 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 fans of the brand's premium subs. The move is significant because it represents a direct investment by the corporate parent in a market that has shown strong demand for Capriotti's offerings, and it is the first step in a larger plan to revitalize the brand's presence in the region.
"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 Cheyenne Road location is also slated for a similar corporate-backed reopening, indicating a systematic effort to restore the brand's footprint in Colorado Springs.
The reopening will feature promotions throughout the day on September 15. 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 other items. 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.
Capriotti's is known for its premium sandwiches, including The Bobbie®, made with slow-roasted, hand-pulled Butterball® turkey, which was voted "Greatest Sandwich in America." The menu also includes the Classic Cheesesteak, an official member of the Cheesesteak Hall of Fame, and the new Cooper Sharp® Cheesesteak available for a limited time. The full lineup features subs made with ultra-premium American Wagyu from Snake River Farms®.
Regular hours for the Barnes Road location will be Sunday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Friday and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. The shop offers dine-in, pickup, delivery, and catering services.

The corporate takeover and reopening underscore Capriotti's commitment to operational excellence and customer service in a competitive fast-casual market. By directly managing the Barnes Road location, the company aims to ensure consistency and quality that franchisees might struggle to maintain. This move could also serve as a model for other markets where the brand seeks to reestablish or strengthen its presence. With more than 150 locations nationwide and a reputation for premium ingredients, Capriotti's is positioning itself for growth, and the Colorado Springs revitalization is a key part of that strategy.
