Subway’s franchise model offers a fantastic balance between the freedom of being your own boss and the support of an established network. This model has allowed many entrepreneurial individuals to work for themselves, without feeling alone. Each Subway store is individually owned and operated by franchisees who are committed to contributing to their local economy and community.
Subway’s franchisees are from many different walks of life, but all share the attributes required to be a successful business owner – they are personable, can lead a team from the front, possess business acumen and are passionate about the Subway brand. As a people’s business, Subway is committed to helping franchisees run successful stores in good locations, with first-class customer service and a sought-after menu.
