Sandwich Sandwich gives 500 free sandwiches at Birmingham opening

Sandwich Sandwich, the Bristol-born chain known for its giant, generously filled sandwiches, will open its first Birmingham store on Thursday, October 22 on Temple Street. To mark the launch, the first 500 customers from 12pm will receive a free sandwich, and the chain will also hand out merchandise and a special 'black card' at random.

Cult favourite arrives in the city centre

The chain, which already operates seven other sites, has built a reputation for serving large portions and a wide range of options, from breakfast baps to loaded sandwiches with fillings such as roast beef, coronation chicken and chicken kyiv. Customers at its existing locations frequently praise the "excellent food" and the substantial quantity they receive.

Founder Nick Kleiner described the Birmingham opening as a "hugely proud moment" for the family business. "Opening our first Birmingham store is a hugely proud moment for me and for everyone at Sandwich Sandwich as we’ve poured our hearts into building this family business," he said.

Founder's vision for the new store

Kleiner emphasised the brand's ambitions in the city, saying: "Birmingham is a city with a big appetite and a brilliant food scene, and we can’t wait to be part of it. We’re coming with generous sandwiches, bold flavours and a team determined to make its mark in the community. This is a big moment for us, and we’re only getting started."

Beyond the walk-in store, Sandwich Sandwich will also launch corporate catering services, aiming to serve office workers across the city.

Excitement builds on social media

The announcement has generated buzz among Brummies, with many taking to social media to share their enthusiasm. One TikTok user wrote: "OMGGGG I DONT HAVE TO GO TO LONDON OMGGGG THIS IS GREAT NEWS." Another added: "OH MY GOD," while a third commented: "I'm so glad this is coming. I'm gna have to actually start going into town now!!"

The launch day giveaway starts at 12pm at the Temple Street store, with the first 500 customers set to receive a complimentary sandwich as the chain celebrates its expansion into Birmingham.
