Goodcents Deli Fresh Subs has announced plans for three new Lincoln locations in the next year as well as a new partnership with one of the city's independent coffee shops.
Goodcents said it has expanded its franchise agreement with local franchise owners Jeff Barclay and Scott Ritter to include three more Lincoln locations. Barclay and Ritter own three existing Goodcents locations in Lincoln.
One of the new locations is the one already under construction on the southwest corner of 27th and Randolph streets, which is expected to open sometime this summer. The second location will open in northeast Lincoln at 84th Street and Northern Lights Drive sometime in the fall.
The company said it still is working on identifying a third location.
The new restaurants will feature Goodcents' new design, which includes digital menu boards, drive-through digital ordering kiosks and a more modern-looking interior.
