Subway is one of the most recognisable and popular sandwich shops ever invented. It could be argued as American’s largest. At over 40 years old it is one of the longest running chains too.
Subway facts:
Subway was started by college student Fred DeLuca and his friend Dr Peter Buck, the first shop was opened in 1965 in Connecticut but it was called ‘Pete’s Super Submarines’. In fact Fred DeLuca is still President of the company now.
There are now 27,989 franchises of Subway in 87 countries of the world and they employ over 150,000 people. In fact there are more Subway restaurants in America than McDonald’s.
In 2007 an American called Jared Fogel lost 245 pounds by eating a subway calorie controlled diet. He ate a 6” sub for lunch and a foot long for dinner for one whole year losing over 17 stone.
