How to Franchise SUBWAY Sandwich Store

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.
