About Us

Charleys Philly Steaks was founded in 1986 by our CEO, Charley Shin, and has since become the world’s largest Philly cheesesteak franchise. With more than 630 locations open throughout the nation and around the world, Charleys Philly Steaks has helped hundreds of entrepreneurs thrive in a business that emphasizes exceptional food, exceptional customer service, and community. In 2021, our brand is stronger than ever. With new streamlined operations that maximize profitability and a restaurant model for any location, Charleys Philly Steaks is ready for nationwide growth.

We live by THREE words! Make Customers Happy.
“We know that in the United States, nobody eats because they’re hungry – customers want an experience,” Charley says. “We’re always working on ways to increase our customer base, and by adding wings to our menu, we get to broaden our appeal. Our cheesesteaks are already head and shoulders above anything found in Philadelphia, and we’re just going to continue to treat our customers as individuals and ensure that they’re happy when they leave our restaurants. This has been the secret to our success.”
