Proving That a Sandwich is a Meal…When Done Right!

Big Star Sandwich Co. opened in March 2013 with a commitment to bring an amazing sandwich experience. Big Star Sandwich Co. is all about fresh, premium ingredients in their sandwiches and sides. Their bread is prepared daily, they use other high-quality meats and cheeses, and attention to detail is what makes their sandwiches stand out, besides their massive size, of course.

Their mission is to show people that, yes, a sandwich can be a meal, but it’s all about what you put in it! Since its inception, they have multiple stores across British Columbia’s Lower Mainland and continue growing.

While takeout options allowed Big Star Sandwich Co. to stay open, the business was not as active as before, and available cash flow was dipping. Bills needed to be paid to keep their location running, Big Star Sandwich reached out to Merchant Growth to help stay on top of their operating costs.
