The story of the Subway® brand started more than 50 years ago when Dr. Peter Buck, a nuclear physicist, changed the life of a college freshman Fred De Luca with a few simple words, “Let’s open a submarine sandwich shop.” By 1974, the duo owned and operated 16 submarine sandwich shops throughout Connecticut. Realizing they would not reach their goal of 32 store in time, they began franchising, launching the SUBWAY® brand into a period of remarkable growth which continues to this day. Today, the SUBWAY® brand is the world’s largest submarine sandwich chain with more than 44,000 locations around the world. We’ve become the leading choice for people seeking quick, nutritious meals that the whole family can enjoy. From the beginning, Fred has had a clear vision for the future of the SUBWAY® brand. As we continue to grow, we are guided by his passion for delighting customers by serving delicious, made-to-order sandwiches.
