Franchisee Spotlight: Dustin Childers

Each week, Lenny's will highlight a franchisee. This week, Dustin Childers, is our spotlight franchisee.

Franchisee Since: May 2009
Franchise Locations: 3942 Taylorsville Road, Louisville, KY

How Dustin Childers Got Started With Lenny’s Sub Shop

Dustin got involved in the airline industry as a pilot flying commercially at first for Northwest Airlink and then transitioned into flying as a corporate pilot, which is still what he does today. With his family as his main priority, Dustin was eager to become an entrepreneur and build a business with his family. Being from Memphis, Dustin had experienced Lenny’s Sub Shop growing up and fell in love with the brand as a consumer. At the point of his wanting to become a business owner, Dustin’s nostalgia for Lenny’s encouraged him to check out Lenny’s franchise opportunities. Louisville, where Dustin is currently living, does not have a Lenny’s location and so Dustin thought that Louisville would benefit from the “Lenny’s experience.”

Now, Dustin will be the first Lenny’s franchisee to put a new twist on a Lenny’s new opening. On his grand opening day, May 6, the first 50 people in line will receive free subs for a year in addition to $3 regular subs for the entire day.

What Intrigued Dustin Childers about Lenny’s Sub Shop

Dustin was first intrigued by Lenny’s as a customer growing up in Memphis. He was a frequent visitor of Lenny’s and was impressed every time by the great customer service he received. Dustin loved the fresh food, which is made to order, and the superior customer service, which comprises the “Lenny’s experience.”
