The history
Fred DeLuca and Dr. Peter Buck opened the first SUBWAY® restaurant in the city of Bridgeport, Connecticut, USA, in the summer of 1965. The company was later incorporated in the name of Doctor’s Associates Inc.

The SUBWAY® franchise is the largest restaurant chain in North America and is poised to become the largest restaurant chain in the world.

The SUBWAY® franchise system places a focus on making great sandwiches. It is so great, in fact, that many SUBWAY® customers have become franchise owners simply because they believe in the product.

Great food

With the option of many ingredients, the sandwiches are customized with an array of meats, cheeses and vegetables and topped off with unique select sauces. In addition, many food flavors are brought out by toasting the sandwiches to perfection, just the way a customer wants.

Location performance
Generally, the most important factors for performance are the location of the franchise and how well it is run. Because these key factors are unknown, Doctor’s Associates Inc. cannot predict your results.

In fact, to eliminate possible misunderstandings, the company has a policy that no employee or agent can provide you with projections as to potential sales, earnings and profitability.
