Founding Year of Subway
Subway was established in 1965 in Bridgeport, Connecticut, by Fred DeLuca and Dr. Peter Buck. The first store was originally named Pete's Super Submarines before becoming Subway. The brand focused on fast, affordable submarine sandwiches and quick service.
Early Growth and Franchise Model
In the years after its founding, Subway expanded quickly by using a franchise model. The company opened locations in other Connecticut towns and then spread across the United States. This approach helped Subway become one of the largest restaurant chains in the world.
Global Expansion and Current Status
Subway continued to grow internationally, entering markets in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. According to the company's corporate site, it operates thousands of locations worldwide. Today, Subway is recognized for its customizable sandwiches and focus on quick service.
