Shareholder Rights Law Firm Johnson & Weaver, LLP is investigating potential violations of the federal securities laws by Potbelly Corporation PBPB and certain of its officers. Potbelly owns, operates and franchises Potbelly Sandwich Works sandwich shops in the United States.

Specifically, Johnson & Weaver's investigation seeks to determine whether certain statements regarding the Company's business and prospects were false and misleading when made.
