Miller’s Famous Sandwiches Franchise Overview
A Successful Business Model That Has Withstood The Test Of Time
We opened the doors to the first Miller’s Famous Sandwiches location back in 1972. Since that time, almost 50 years ago, we have remained a dining institution in an around East Providence, Rhode Island. Our claim to fame is that are a top roast beef restaurant, serving THE BEST roast beef sandwich that you will ever taste. We do this while also providing a variety of other mouthwatering sandwich options and exceptional, freshly-made sides that satisfy customers of all demographics.
Spanning three generations, Miller’s Famous Sandwiches is still a family-owned and operated business. People love Miller’s roast beef restaurant and we are excited to begin providing our unique product and services to customers in other communities across the country. Franchise expansion doesn’t mean that we will cease to be family-owned, however. It just means that each new Franchise Owner and all of their customers become family, too. This is why our guiding philosophy has always been and always will be “Family Serving Family®“.

Our Restaurant Model
Every Miller’s Famous Sandwiches location is based off of the look and feel of the original restaurant that was opened back in 1972. Details such as community tables, swivel stools, and warm wood tones are just a few of the ways that we recreate this atmosphere. A typical franchise location sits approximately 1,800 to 2,200 square feet and is located in a strip center, is free standing, or is found on a pad site in a shopping center. Our guidance and established decor packages, helps ensure that you are able to capture the Miller’s Famous Sandwiches environment in your own local restaurant and helps create an instant connection to your community
Store hours typically run between 10:30 AM – 9:00 PM. We’re able to take advantage of multiple day parts in lunch and dinner while making sure that all of the employees, Franchise Owner included, are home at a reasonable hour.
We also offer catering, gift cards, online ordering, and varying Miller’s Roast Beef® apparel. Most Miller’s locations are comprised of 2-3 managers and 12-15 part-time employees, depending on the size and location of your restaurant. For each shift, you will need at least 1 manager, 2 cashiers, and 2 employees handling food prep. The typical demographic of your employees will vary based off of your community.
