The Subway® brand: We’re hungry for more stores across the UK and Ireland

For many people, the idea of running their own business and being their own boss, in charge of their own destiny, has always been attractive but for a variety of reasons, they are yet to take the plunge. It could be that you haven’t yet come up with your new business idea or are finding it difficult to take the leap from the relative comfort of being an employee, with regular working hours and financial stability, into the unknown.

The Subway® brand is the number-one franchise* with over 43,000 Subway® stores in more than 110 countries. The Subway® brand is continuing to expand and is actively seeking new franchise owners to become part of the success story.

Franchising can offer an attractive alternative, bridging the gap between running your own business, but with the added reassurance that you are working for a well-known organisation within a proven business model. One of the key strengths behind the success of Subway® stores is the solid support network and robust processes of operation:

  • Regional development agents have specific experience in opening and developing Subway® franchises and offer support and assistance with site selection, leasing, operations and more

  • The Subway® Support Centre in Cambridge delivers hundreds of training courses each year. Each franchise owner receives a comprehensive two-week training course and there is ongoing support to keep franchise owner and staff continually informed of all the latest information and techniques

  • The University of Subway® offers simple-to-follow interactive training and development for franchise owners and their staff

  • Regular conventions are held to keep franchise owners up to date with best practice and offer a chance to meet with Subway® staff and fellow franchise owners

  • Franchise owners in the UK and Ireland actively participate in the running of the franchise advertising fund. National and regional advertising boards are elected each year; the board members are elected franchise owners that serve to make marketing decisions and ensure franchise owners funds are used to benefit all franchise owners equitably

With over 2,500 locations in the UK and Ireland and further growth plans, the Subway® brand is always on the look-out for hard-working, entrepreneurial individuals who are ready to fulfil their dream of becoming their own boss.
