Frequently
Asked Questions

Where did Capriotti’s begin?

Capriotti’s started as a family business with brother and sister Alan and Lois Margolet
in 1976. They opened the first Capriotti’s in Little Italy in Wilmington, Delaware. They
decided to name it after their grandfather, Philip Capriotti, who loved to cook.

Alan and Lois wanted to create a sandwich for “real turkey lovers,” so they started
roasting whole fresh turkeys overnight. This ritual, which still goes on at every location
today, sets them apart from their competitors. Word spread about their fresh roasted
turkey, quality meats and cheese, fresh rolls and produce. Over time, their popularity
grew and in 1987, their cousin, Diane Rizzo, joined them in opening additional
locations in Delaware. The formula was so successful that franchising was offered.
Today, Capriotti’s Sandwich Shops are located around the country and continue the
family tradition started in Delaware more than 40 years ago.
