Potbelly is actually Potbelly Sandwich Works, (We just call it Potbelly for short). Potbelly started out in 1977 as a mom-and-pop antique store in a Chicago neighborhood.

They kept all the antiques, added some items to the menu (hand-dipped shakes, homemade desserts and soups) and had a friend come in to play the acoustic guitar, and voila- a Chicago cult classic is born!
