Northern Ireland's rising sandwich business is 'on a roll' opening its second site in Belfast

A popular sandwich shop from Portstewart is expanding with a brand-new location in Belfast set to open tomorrow (Monday).

Founded by Genny Daws, Slabz has been a hit in the seaside town since its launch in July. Now, just six months later, Genny and her team are excited to bring their tasty creations to Belfast’s bustling Pottingers Entry.

What began as a simple dream for the north coast native has blossomed into a full-fledged Northern Ireland success story, with the second location opening tomorrow (Monday).

The move is part of their broader vision to make Slabz a staple in the Northern Ireland food scene.

"We’ve had so much support from customers who travel from far and wide to visit us in Portstewart, so we’re thrilled to open in Belfast," Genny explained. "It’s a huge milestone for us, and we’re so excited to be a part of the city's vibrant food scene.”

Reflecting on the journey, Genny continued: “It really is a pinch-me moment and I can’t believe my dream of opening a sandwich shop has expanded into owning two shops now within only six month. And where better to open a second shop than Belfast? We (and partner Andy) have strong ties to the city as we both lived there at one stage and just love the buzz.”
