Capriotti’s Sandwich Shop, known for its award-winning, hand-crafted sandwiches, has signed a franchise agreement set to bring three new restaurants to Rhode Island, with the first location opening in Lincoln in April 2019.

The new restaurants will be owned and operated by entrepreneurial couple Kevin and Maria Stoehr. For Kevin, who previously ran a construction company for 20 years, and Maria a pre-K teacher and avid fan of the brand, Capriotti’s was the perfect business venture to start their ‘second act’ careers. The couple, previously from Rhode Island, currently live in Las Vegas where the brand is headquartered, and are looking forward to bringing the fan-favorite brand back to their home state.
