Upscale, Fast Casual Dining Powerhouse with House-Crafted Menu Now Open in Mueller

MUELLER, Texas, March 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Capriotti's Sandwich Shop, known for its award-winning, hand-crafted cheese steaks, turkey subs and more, is debuting a new location in Mueller at 1200 Barbara Jordan Blvd. today. This will mark the first brick and mortar location, with a ghost kitchen having opened in April of 2021. Capriotti's brings the Mueller community its 45-year tradition of slow-roasting whole, all-natural turkeys in-house and hand-pulling them every morning and other favorites like the made-from-scratch meatballs using premium, fresh ingredients.

Capriotti's is known for its wide array of sandwiches including The Bobbie, made with fresh oven-roasted turkey, cranberry sauce, stuffing and mayo, the Capastrami, made with hot pastrami, Swiss cheese, Russian dressing and homemade coleslaw and the cheesesteak is made with premium steak, chicken or Impossible plant-based meat and melted cheese plus hot or sweet peppers. The Mueller Capriotti's will offer a convenient order-ahead option, in addition to third-party delivery services. The new shop will bring 20 new jobs to the Mueller community.

The new location is owned and operated by business partners and friends, Julian King and Warren Shu. Both have very different backgrounds, with King having spent his career in the restaurant industry and Shu working at his own family office investments company. When the pair met while working out at a gym, King had the dream of owning his own restaurant and Shu had a strong interest in being a part of the industry. Together they looked at many different concepts, before finding the perfect fit – Capriotti's.

"After trying Capriotti's for the first time, Warren and I knew this was something we needed to bring to our community," said King. "We don't just want to bring a new restaurant to the area, we want to bring an entirely unique experience, and also give our team members the opportunity to grow. With six units, our plan is to help people work their way up to leadership positions throughout our several locations."
