Products and Restaurants
Assorted lunch meats featuring Dagwood have been sold at grocery stores. In May 1999, a counter-service restaurant named Blondie's opened at Universal Orlando's Islands of Adventure, serving a traditional Dagwood-style sandwich. Blondie's bills itself as "Home of the Dagwood Sandwich." The exterior displays a 20-foot plastic Dagwood sandwich over the entrance.
A Blondie-themed restaurant chain, Dagwood's Sandwich Shoppes, founded in 2006, has, as of January 2012, franchise locations open in Kentucky, Indiana, Missouri, and Georgia. The chain struggled financially and never reached the growth anticipated by its founders. The Dagwood is sold as a 1.5-pound sandwich. The Dagwood sandwich served in the Dagwood Sandwich Shoppes stacks these ingredients: three slices of deli bread, Genoa salami, ham, pepperoni, turkey, cheddar, Provolone, lettuce, tomato, roasted red bell peppers, banana peppers, red onion, deli mustard, and low calorie mayonnaise.
