Seattle went years with nary a Potbelly, the holy-hell-popular sandwich chain. Now the Chicago-based biz is marching in fast and furious.
Or at least fast. On December 6 Potbelly plans to open its third area outpost in six months. The newest branch is at 1111 Third Avenue, not far from the first shop here, at Fourth and Pike. (The other one is in downtown Bellevue.)
The company has hinted at ambitious plans for the Seattle area, but a Potbelly rep says further locations still are not nailed down.

Potbellys is possibly plotting more Seattle-area stores.
In the past couple of years Chicago-based chain Potbelly Sandwich Works has embarked on a speedy-ambitious expansion plan, plotting first-ever stakes along both coasts while growing in existing markets.
The first for the Seattle area opened on Fourth and Pine Pike in early June, and on August 30 downtown Bellevue gets one at 10680 NE Fourth Street, according to a company spokesperson. We also learned last month another Pbelly is going in the 1100 block of Third Avenue, not far from that first one.
And it sounds as if more are in store: “We are exploring many of Seattle’s great neighborhoods for possible Potbelly shops,” said the rep when asked about further expansion plans, “but the timing and locations are yet to be finalized.”
Stay tuned.

Potbelly’s second location Downtown will open in mid to late fall, confirms a company rep.
As Eater Seattle’s Allecia Vermillion reported, Potbelly, the Chicago-based chain that opened its first Seattle sandwich shop a month ago, is expanding its local reach with a Bellevue Towers location due to open later this summer.
And a company rep confirmed this morning that a third shop was on its way. Just a few blocks from Potbelly’s location at Fourth and Pike Downtown, the new branch is at 1111 3rd Avenue, near the corner of Third and Spring.
If you haven’t yet visited Potbelly, you may not know that it lists the calorie content of all its food and shakes. The sandwiches mostly hover around 500 or 600 calories thanks to reasonable portion size. But there is an ice cream sandwich that has more than 1,000, which is a fun fact that I like to throw out at cocktail parties. Honestly, people never seem to be as tickled by that information as I am. To each his own, I suppose.
