Dagwood’s sandwich-making skills are legendary and have made his name synonymous with outrageous sandwiches. Wikipedia defines “the Dagwood sandwich†thick multi-layered sandwich made up of a wide variety of meats, cheeses, and condiments. It was named after Dagwood Bumstead, a character in the comic strip Blondie who frequently made enormous sandwiches. The comic strip was written by Chic Young.
Chic Young died in 1973, and his son, Dean, took over the strip, making every thought of Dagwood’s one of his own. And, over the past 30 years, Dean Young couldn’t stop thinking about opening a sandwich shop for Dagwood. He’s collected and created thousands of recipes over the years.
Now Dagwood’s Sandwich Shoppes have become a reality, the result of a partnership between Dean Young, who brings his creative genius to the arrangement, and International Marketing Systems (IMS), which has 17 years’ experience creating communications and franchisee-support programs for large retail companies and restaurant chains.
