Subway Franchise Development North America

the story of the subway brand started more than 50 years ago with dr. peter buck and fred deluca. the partners opened their first restaurant in bridgeport, connecticut, where they served fresh, affordable, made to order sandwiches. the popularity of the sandwiches and the brand continued to grow over the decades but one thing remained the same and that was their core values and principles: a) always provide exceptional service to your valued guests; b) provide the highest quality menu items at a price everyone can afford and enjoy; and c) keep operating costs low and ensure you have great systems in place and never stop improving. these early principles continue to serve as the foundation for subway restaurants around the world. today, the subway® brand is the world's largest submarine sandwich chain with more than 40,000 locations around the world.
