we’ve always been an original.
In 1971, a small sandwich shop on South Congress Avenue in Austin, Texas, opened as the first Schlotzsky’s® with only one product—an 8‑inch muffuletta stuffed with three meats, cheeses, lettuce, tomatoes, olives, and dressing served on hot, freshly made sourdough bread. The Original® sandwich was born.
