Sandwell looks like a scrappy NYC sandwich shop, but its investors are actually two longtime restaurant-industry mentors who stay hands-off. Founder Andy Gottlieb still runs the counter himself, while also working full-time as another restaurant group's CFO.
The Big Picture
Sandwell is a small, founder-run NYC sandwich chain — three storefronts, no institutional investors, and no PE or VC money, just two hands-off mentor-investors from founder Andy Gottlieb's restaurant circle. As a young, three-location business, it has little public labor or environmental track record to date, but nothing in that record raises a concern.
