Capriotti's Sandwich Shop is set to reopen its Colorado Springs location at 5856 Barnes Rd. on September 15 under new corporate ownership. The 1,433-square-foot restaurant's relaunch represents a fresh start for the brand in the community and is the first wave of a broader revitalization effort in the area, with the Cheyenne Road location set to follow.
The reopening brings back fan-favorite subs such as The Bobbie®, voted "Greatest Sandwich in America," and the award-winning cheesesteaks. The new team, backed directly by corporate management, is emphasizing operational excellence, top-tier customer service, and the high-quality subs that the community has missed.
"We're excited to take over the Barnes Road location and serve Capriotti's loyal Colorado Springs fans under new corporate ownership," said Ashley Morris, Capriotti's CEO. "This community has always shown incredible passion for our subs, and we're committed to giving every guest the high-quality experience they deserve. Best of all, this is just the beginning. We're already gearing up to bring that same commitment to our Cheyenne Road location next."
To celebrate the grand reopening on September 15, the location will host promotions throughout the day. The first 50 customers through the door at 9 a.m. will receive a free small 8" sub for their next visit, and guests can spin a prize wheel for swag and prizes throughout the day. A live radio remote will run from 2 to 4 p.m. featuring a free-subs-for-a-year giveaway, followed by Capriotti's swag bag giveaways from 5 to 8 p.m.
The Barnes Road location will serve the full lineup of fan favorites, including The Bobbie®, made with slow-roasted, hand-pulled Butterball® turkey, and the Classic Cheesesteak, an official member of the Cheesesteak Hall of Fame. The menu also features the new Cooper Sharp® Cheesesteak, available for a limited time, alongside a full selection of subs made with ultra-premium American Wagyu from Snake River Farms®.
Regular hours of operation are Sunday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Friday and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Capriotti's offers dine-in, pickup, and delivery options, alongside robust catering services for group events and local gatherings.

The reopening is significant for Colorado Springs residents who have missed the brand, and it signals Capriotti's commitment to corporate-owned expansion and revitalization. With more than 150 locations across the U.S., the chain continues to grow and has been consistently ranked on Fast Casual's Top 100 Movers & Shakers list. This move could bolster the local economy by creating jobs and providing a new dining option, while also strengthening the brand's presence in the region.
