Lenny's was recently featured in Entrepreneur Magazine and Entrepreneur.com in an article titled, "Sub Commander".
The article, which includes a nice photo of Edith
Kelly-Green, talked about her success as an business owner and the largest
multi-unit franchisee in the Lenny’s franchise system. The article also
mentioned her previous experience at FedEx Express and how that experience
helped her transition into a franchising success story. Overall, this was a
great win for the brand!

How a Retired FedEx Exec Built a Mini Sandwich Empire
By: Jason Daley
In 2004 Edith Kelly-Green was settling into retirement. After almost 30 years with FedEx--ultimately serving as vice president and chief sourcing officer for FedEx Express at the company's Memphis, Tenn., headquarters--her days consisted of waking up early, reading at Starbucks and working on the finances of several nonprofits.
A suggestion from her family prompted Kelly-Green to consider opening a Lenny's Sub Shop. "My daughter was a college sophomore at the time and said, ‘I eat there all the time. You have to invest!'" she remembers. "I knew the CEO and called him, thinking I'd just invest some capital. But he convinced me I'd be happier as a franchisee."
