Capriotti's Opens in in Colorado Springs

Capriotti's Sandwich Shop opened a new location in Colorado Springs at 5856 Barnes Rd. on April 3.

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 Colorado Springs Capriotti's will offer a convenient order-ahead option, in addition to third-party delivery services. The new shop will bring 24 new jobs to the Colorado Springs community.

The new location is owned and operated by husband-wife duo, Ron and Christen Sanders. This is the couples second location, and they plan on opening a third in the InterQuest Marketplace this summer. There are plans to open more locations in 2024. The Sanders were first introduced to Capriotti's while living in Las Vegas in 2017. The couple was instantly drawn to all that Capriotti's has to offer and knew that they wanted to open their own locations in Colorado after relocating 2019. With their first location, the couple sponsored the Air Force Academy Athletics (AFA) and operated a concession at all AFA home football games. They plan on growing this partnership with the addition of their second location.

"Working with the Air Force Academy Athletics has been very rewarding," says Ron. "I was in the Air Force for 27 years, and this feels like a good way to give back to the institution that shaped my career and my life. We are excited to continue working with them and help supply athletes with fresh, delicious food."

Capriotti's is open from 10 AM – 9 PM Monday through Saturday, and 11 AM – 8 PM on Sundays.
