Jeff Sinelli, Chief Vibe Officer, Which Wich

Jeff Sinelli serves as Founder, CEO, and Chief Vibe Officer of Which Wich. He has created and grown an iconic brand, both domestically and internationally, to 300 locations in 10 years, and spreading a lot of positive vibes along the way.

In 1998, Sinelli created Genghis Grill, a Mongolian Barbecue restaurant, which he grew to 11 units in five states.  Sinelli sold the concept in 2003, and set to work on filling what he felt was a void in the sandwich arena.

Sinelli created Which Wich in 2003, prompting QSR Magazine to refer to him as a “branding phenom” upon its launch.  The company began awarding franchise rights in 2005. By 2013, Which Wich has expanded throughout the United States, and has opened locations in Mexico, Panama, Qatar, and Dubai, with over 100 more locations in development.
