Franchise Concept & Key Figures

Franchising details

Become part of the success story

With over 2,500 locations in the UK and Ireland, and more than 43,000 stores in over 110 countries, a Subway® franchise is perfect for anyone keen to run their own business, whilst at the same time benefiting from Subway®’s finely tuned and developed franchise system.

Subway® is continuing to expand and is always looking for talented individuals to join the team and become a part of the success story. One of the key strengths behind the success of Subway® is the solid support network and robust processes in operation:

  • Interactive online training courses are available through the University of Subway® for franchise owners and their staff
  • Experienced Business Development Agents provide ongoing assistance and mentoring to help with site selection, leasing, operations, local store marketing and much more
  • A franchisee-owned purchasing company, IPC Europe manages the purchasing and supply chain activity for all food, packaging, equipment and services in the UK, Ireland and other European countries.

In 2017, Subway® introduced a new ‘Fresh Forward’ store design, offering guests an enhanced and modern Subway® experience, with clean lines and customer focused touches, such as digital menu boards, special displays for cookies, bread baked in store daily and freshly cut vegetables.

Subway® stores can adapt to almost any size and type of location, existing or new, with minimal impact to the day-to-day operations.

Training and support

Intensive training programme

All new Subway® franchise owners are required to attend a two-week training course at the Subway® Support Centre in Cambridge ahead of opening their own store.

This intensive training programme provides them with an overview of operating a Subway® store and running a business, including classroom and in-store sessions. On completion of the training, franchise owners are well-equipped to take the next steps in opening their own store.

Similar training programmes are available for Subway® store managers as well.

University of Subway®, Subway® Support Centre

In addition to face-to-face training, Subway® also runs the University of Subway®, a well-established online training programme coordinated by the Subway® Support Centre in Connecticut, USA.

Offering over 400 online courses for franchise owners and store staff, the University of Subway® has brought on-demand learning to more than one million individuals and has surpassed 15 million course completions since its launch in 2007.

An in-depth support structure is operated through Business Development Agents who have specific experience in opening and developing Subway® franchises and often own several outlets of their own.

There are 20 Business Development Offices in the UK and Ireland which assist and mentor all franchise owners with site selection, leasing, design, construction, hands-on training, purchasing, operations, advertising, local store marketing and more.

The Business Development Office also provides continued support and mentoring once franchise owners have opened a Subway® store.
