Local Goodcents Tops National Franchise List

Goodcents Deli Fresh Subs (goodcentssubs.com) has announced its top performing franchise of 2017. The Goodcents restaurant at 2712 Cornhusker Hwy. in Lincoln was named the top-performing restaurant of the year across the Goodcents Franchise system, breaking an all-time high sales record of more than 80 locations across the United States. It is owned by longtime Goodcents franchisees Jeff Barclay and Scott Ritter who first opened the store in 2000.

Catering has played an important role in the Cornhusker location growth, which is up more than 25% over last year. Another key driver was its promotion of Goodcents new online and mobile app ordering platform. This location also has one of the highest employee retention rates across the Goodcents Franchise System. “This is a very exciting milestone for our team and the entire Goodcents Franchise System,” said Barclay. “This is a brand we’ve always believed in and we are so appreciative for all of our loyal customers who have supported us over the years.”

Barclay and Ritter have been part of the Goodcents Franchise System since 1999, when they opened their first Goodcents restaurant at 4333 S. 70th Street in Lincoln shortly after graduating college. Today, they own five Goodcents locations, with the 5th location having just opened on December 15 at N. 84th St. They also co-own Venue Restaurant and Lounge and Piedmont Bistro by Venue. This year, Goodcents was voted the #1 sandwich shop as part of the ‘Best of Lincoln’ awards and Barclay was awarded the 2017 Enterprising Gambler Award from the Lincoln Independent Business Association (LIBA). Barclay and Ritter also won the Nebraska Restaurateur of the Year Award in 2016.
