Why choose a SUBWAY® franchise?

Since Fred DeLuca opened his first submarine sandwich store in Connecticut, USA in 1965, the SUBWAY® chain has grown into a multi-billion pound business.

In 2009, the chain was once again named the Number One Franchise Opportunity in the Entrepreneur magazine ‘Franchise 500’ rankings – this is the 16th time the chain has won this prestigious award in the past 22 years.

The ‘Franchise 500’ rankings are the most comprehensive franchise rankings in the world and consider many factors, including:

• Financial strength and stability
• Growth rate
• The size of the system
• Start-up costs

The SUBWAY® chain continues to have ambitious expansion plans in the UK and Ireland, and is actively seeking new franchisees to become part of the success story.

Over the many years it has been operating, the chain has finely tuned and developed its franchise system. The system is both efficient and effective, proving itself time and time again throughout the world.

One of the key strengths behind the success of the SUBWAY® chain is the solid support network and robust processes in operation. Read more about the in-depth support structure »
