Benjys

Benjys

Benjys was a chain of sandwich shops in the United Kingdom. Most of the sixty branches were located in London and the South East of England, with some in major cities outside the South East, such as Leeds, Manchester and Birmingham. At one point, it operated a van-based model in which franchises delivered sandwiches to offices, particularly in business parks, that are generally not well served by venues that sell food intended to be eaten at lunchtime.

The first branch of Benjys was opened in 1989 by Paul Benjamin husband of Inez Benjamin. The Benjamin family sold the thriving business for around £40 million, at the turn of the Millennium.

Benjys employed over 650 people and offered a range of hot food, fresh fruit, snacks, desserts and bakery items in its stores.

Paul Benjamin invented the 16oz coffee cup, and the "Torpeado Sandwich ".
