Capriotti’s Sandwich Shop opens new location in Colorado Springs today
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO)– Capriotti’s Sandwich Shop, known for its award-winning, hand-crafted cheesesteaks, turkey subs, and more, will debut a new location in Colorado Springs at 140 E Cheyenne Rd on Tuesday. Capriotti’s brings the Colorado Springs community its 45-year tradition of slow-roasting whole, all-natural turkeys in-house and hand-pulling them every morning, as well as other favorites like the made-from-scratch meatballs made with premium, fresh ingredients.
The new Capriotti’s Sandwich Shop is owned and operated by local entrepreneurs and married couple Christen and Ron Sanders. With over 20 years of experience working in the restaurant business, Christen was ready to have her own family-owned business. While briefly living in Las Vegas, one of the first things that the Sanders did was visit a Capriotti’s.
They were instantly drawn to the fresh ingredients and made-to-order menu items. When the Sanders saw that a Capriotti’s was planning to open in Colorado Springs but ended up falling through, they jumped at the chance to be the new owners. For Ron, the city is his second hometown after graduating from the Air Force Academy in 1985, serving as a flight instructor at the Academy in the 1990s, and having his oldest son graduate from the same Academy in 2008.
Ron went on to serve over 27 years on active duty and still works with the military at USSPACECOM. Christen and Ron are eager to bring a fresh, healthy restaurant option to give back to a community that means a lot to them.
“Colorado Springs is really opening up and we’re excited to provide a unique, fresh meal option to a community that has done so much for us,” said Ron. “We want to give back to the community and the military bases in town and be able to share something we love with a place that has really become home, and with Capriotti’s, we can do that.”
Capriotti’s is known for its wide array of fresh made-to-order sandwiches including The Bobbie, made with fresh oven-roasted turkey, cranberry sauce, stuffing, and mayo and the Capastrami, made with hot pastrami, Swiss cheese, Russian dressing, and homemade coleslaw.
Capriotti’s is also famous for its cheesesteaks which can be made with Snake River Farms American Wagyu, classic premium steak, chicken, or Impossible plant-based meat.
