Subway Franchise

Subway is the largest submarine sandwich franchise in the world with  over 17,500 individually owned restaurants in 74 countries. In 2001,  Subway displaced McDonald's as the largest fast-food chain in the United  States and Canada. Subway spends $290 million per year on television  advertisements just to ensure we recognize the iconic Subway spokesman  Jared Fogle, who lost a significant amount of weight by going on the  "Subway diet." Thanks to the vigorous high-profile TV advertising and marketing,  Subway's brand awareness has never been higher. Entrepreneur Magazine  has stated that Subway is an established system with low investment,  wide brand recognition and proven operational procedures, which keep  Subway out ahead as the number one franchise in all categories for 10 of  the past 14 years. Subway has been providing entrepreneurs with the  means to build and succeed in their own business since 1965. The company offers flexible options in terms of size, location and  investment, and a vital support network that delivers many business  services including financing and equipment leasing programs and a  hands-on two-week training program. Moreover, Subway provides an  award-winning menu of sandwiches on fresh-baked breads that give  consumers a quick, great-tasting, customized meal, plus a variety of  nutritional vegetables and condiments which cater to each individual  customer's lifestyle. With unstoppable momentum, Subway plans to keep  the success going as it consistently looks at product development and  marketing focus. With new menu items adding variety, such as expanded Subway Selects  gourmet sandwiches and flavored breads, Subway continues to fine-tune  its product. Subway has also become a national sponsor of the American  Heart Association's Heart Walk events held annually in more than 750  cities across the United States, which brings recognition to thousands  of local franchisees.
