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

Today, the SUBWAY® system is the largest restaurant chain in North America and is poised to become the largest restaurant chain in the world.

Each SUBWAY® restaurant is focused 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.

*SUBWAY® is the #1 restaurant chain in total restaurant count with more locations than anyone else in the Quick Service Restaurant industry.

Exceptional growth

Since its founding, the SUBWAY® franchise system has experienced phenomenal growth, and is committed to becoming the #1 Quick Service Restaurant chain in the world.

In most years, about 70% of new franchises are purchases by existing owners.

Décor

The SUBWAY® décor integrates the look of natural building materials - brick, clay, stone - into the stores and conveys to customers that SUBWAY® locations are warm and inviting family dining destinations.

Great food

SUBWAY® “Sandwich Artists” create customers’ sandwiches on a varied selection of daily baked gourmet breads. With the option of many ingredients, the sandwiches are customized with an array of meats, cheeses, vegetables, and lastly topped off with unique select sauces.

In addition, many food flavors are brought out by toasting the sandwiches to perfection, just the way a customer wants.

"Subway's size, unsurpassed brand awareness, and continued growth earned it the top spot on tour AllStar list for the third year running. Despite a tough economy, the sandwich chain is still growing both domestically and internationally, aided by its strategy of opening units in nontraditional locations such as airports, department stores, hospitals and parks."
