Subway Franchise Overview

About Subway

Guests in 112 countries have easy access to a fresh line-up of vegetables for their made-to-order sandwiches and salads at more than 44,700 franchised locations. Sandwich Artists serve 7.5 million sandwiches a day around the world. The company, founded almost 52 years ago by then 17-year-old Fred DeLuca and family-friend Dr. Peter Buck, is still a family-owned business with thousands of dedicated franchisees/entrepreneurs in neighborhoods around the world, providing easy access to vegetables, detailed nutrition, dietary, and healthy lifestyle information. This has been a priority for the Subway® restaurants chain for many years.

Franchise History

Fred DeLuca and Dr. Peter Buck opened the first Subway® restaurant in the city of Bridgeport, Connecticut, USA, in the summer of 1965. The company was later incorporated in the name of Doctor's Associates Inc.

The Subway® franchise is the largest restaurant chain in North America and is poised to become the largest restaurant chain in the world.

The Subway® franchise system places a focus on making great sandwiches. In fact, it is so great, that many Subway® customers have become franchise owners simply because they believe in the product.
