Media
Capriotti’s has gained much attention in the past decade. In 2009, the chain was featured over 100 times in print, online and television advertisements combined. The chain was chosen as the official sandwich of the 2008 and 2009 World Series of Poker tournaments in Las Vegas.
When asked his opinion of Capriotti’s Sandwich Shop, Delaware native and Hollywood actor Ryan Phillippe was quoted by the press, “For some inexplicable reason, they cannot make those sandwiches anywhere else on the planet. That was so much a staple of my youth. Whenever I get back, my Mom either has it waiting for me or we go and pick it up.”
Most recently, Capriotti’s CEO Ashley Morris was featured in the April 2010 issue of Entrepreneur Magazine.

Famous quotes containing the word media:
“The corporate grip on opinion in the United States is one of the wonders of the Western World. No First World country has ever managed to eliminate so entirely from its media all objectivity—much less dissent.”
—Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
“Few white citizens are acquainted with blacks other than those projected by the media and the so—called educational system, which is nothing more than a system of rewards and punishments based upon one’s ability to pledge loyalty oaths to Anglo culture. The media and the “educational system” are the prime sources of racism in the United States.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
“Never before has a generation of parents faced such awesome competition with the mass media for their children’s attention. While parents tout the virtues of premarital virginity, drug-free living, nonviolent resolution of social conflict, or character over physical appearance, their values are daily challenged by television soaps, rock music lyrics, tabloid headlines, and movie scenes extolling the importance of physical appearance and conformity.”
—Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)
