IMPACT UPDATE:

A new Potbelly Sandwich Shop will open Sept. 20 at 1660 Louetta Road, Spring.

It will be the 20th location for the chain in the greater Houston area, market manager Ryan Cesaitis said.

The chain is known for oven-toasted sandwiches including roast beef, tuna and chicken salad, grilled chicken, smoked ham, vegetarian and meatball sandwiches. Salads, soups, shakes and cookies are also featured on the menu, and several seasonal items are available throughout the year.

The Louetta Road location includes options for catering and delivery, and it will have a drive-thru window, Cesaitis said.

The restaurant chain opened a shop in Spring near I-45 because of Potbelly’s success with stores in The Woodlands and Conroe, he said.

“We’ve done very well with folks on the Northern side of Houston,” Cesaitis said. “We felt those communities were where customers were asking us to be.”
