Specialty's Is Back
I heard Specialty's closed. What happened to Specialty's?
Due to the harsh economic situation brought on by COVID-19, Specialty’s had to file for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. All assets were liquidated which, unfortunately, included all Gift Cards and Specialty’s Rewards issued prior to 2021. Fortunately, the original founders of Specialty’s are bringing back the delicious products Specialty’s has always stood for.
Who owns Specialty's now?
The family is back! Specialty’s original founders, Craig and Dawn, missed the business so they've returned and they’ve brought their (now grown!) kids with them.
How will Specialty’s be different?
We’ve downsized to just one location and have updated the menu with new delicious creations. This will allow us to focus on the great food and customer experience.
What happened to Specialty’s near me?
We re-opened our first location at Ellis St in Mountain View, California, to help us get back into serving changed customer needs. We will open additional locations based on customer demand.
What happened to my past account?
We were able to preserve logon information (email and password), but purchase history, saved credit cards, billing info, saved favorites, and rewards information have been deleted to protect your privacy.
Can I access my Sandwich Dollars and Specialty’s Gift Cards?
With the Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, all assets were liquidated, which, unfortunately, included all Specialty’s Rewards and Gift Cards issued prior to 2021.
We will continue to offer the Specialty’s Rewards program -- place 12 orders and receive a credit for the average value of those orders. New rewards status info can be found under My Account,
Specialty’s Reward Status.
How can I access and/or set up my Corporate Account?
Specialty’s is not offering Corporate Accounts at this time. You are welcome to use Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, and Apple Pay. For your convenience, you can also save a credit card to your account for use in the future.
