The state of Nevada now has a little bit of Delaware inside it. So does California. And Utah. And Iowa and Wisconsin and Florida.
In fact, thanks to the Capriotti's sandwich chain, there are now officially more lovers of meaty, massive, Delaware-style subs and steaks outside of the state of Delaware than inside.
The story of that startling reality is a tale that began 35 years ago this summer with the modest ambitions of a young Delaware woman and her brother, and which now continues in the hands of a young Las Vegas entrepreneur who aims to bring Capriotti's to an even broader national prominence in the coming years.
Looking back, it's easy to call it a success story, but like many, it's one that nearly had an early ending.

Great story and great food. We need one here in the 'Bury.
We definetly need a Capriottis in Salisbury. I travel to Wilmington regularly and always stop at the Union St. store when there. The best turkey sub in the world. It is real fresh roasted turkey. The staff is friendly and seem to know all their customers by name. Its the best place to get a sub.
