Chicago-based sandwich chain Potbelly will open nine new restaurants in North Texas, including locations in McKinney, Flower Mound and Denton, according to a Sep. 3 company press release.

The expansion is part of a franchising agreement with father-and-son franchising partners Barry and Remington Burke, who have previously franchised five Wingstop locations, the release states. Potbelly is also launching new restaurants in Melissa, Allen and Princeton.

The sandwich shop offers a variety of toasted sandwiches as well as salads, soups, macaroni and cheese, milkshakes and more, according to the company's menu.
