SUBWAY is a sandwich shop that was launched by Fred DeLuca in August 1965 in Bridgeport, Connecticut, with the primary purpose of earning extra money to fund his medical studies. He was granted a business loan by his friend and later business partner, Dr. Peter Buck.
DeLuca named the store SUBWAY from the primary products they are selling: ‘submarine sandwiches’ or simply, ‘subs’. There are plenty of different sandwiches on the menu, with the variety appealing to most customers.

This led to the popularity of the store which now has over 45,000 branches in more than 100 countries around the world. Interested in franchising your own SUBWAY sandwich store?
The biggest “submarine sandwich” chain in the world is open for franchising. Be prepared for the company to do a background check to determine your company profile and capacity to fully grow the business, including expendable money for attending the training sessions.
