I know Joe, the Original is on Matlock across from Fry's in Arlington. There are several but he doesn't own them all but to open one you have to have his approval and most are owned by family. There are even 2 Joe "Pasta and Pizzas" in Keller area they even got permission to use the Joe name even thought they didn't have too. The crazy thing is non of them are Italian, they are all Albanian.
Hmm, I ran into the owner once at the Sycamore location. Could have sworn he was from Brooklyn. I do remember him saying he had another location, but not where. Cool.
Now because of my endorsement, you'll have your expectations set high and the franchise you happen to try will be a horrible one with terrible food.
One cool thing is that they donate a small part of their profits to first responders: https://www.firehousesubs.com/public-safety-foundation/
