As one of the biggest franchises in the UK, we pride ourselves on paving the way for businesses wanting to run an innovative and forward thinking franchise operation. With over 2,300 locations across the UK & Ireland, we hold ourselves accountable for keeping it fresh, from the style of Subway interiors to our menu offerings, and everything in between.
Our dedication to the customer experience has been a valuable tool in surpassing other fast food giants in the race to the top 10. We immerse our employees into our brand led, entrepreneurial culture through committed training programmes. With our very own University of Subway, the franchise provides managers with the opportunities to truly grow into their role and see a return on investment from their service. Building a team in each location that cares about the subs they serve and those they serve them to, is what ushers Subway into the top 10.
The top 10 aren’t judged solely on one factor, it’s an accumulation of how they operate to maintain the running of a successful company. Whilst Subway sees its approach to staff training as a leading attribution, our commitment to community values helps to surge the brand into its reigning position. In November 2023, we launched a national Kids Eat Free campaign during the school half term. The offer provided children with a healthy, balanced meal that worked towards the food security effort during the ongoing cost of living crisis.
The Subway brand works hard to be attractive to potential franchisee owners, from staff training to corporate social responsibility, but we also recognise the need to be financially accessible too. We relish in our ability to offer low start-up costs and to make use of existing locations, newcomers have access to elite leadership training putting them straight on track to success.
It’s not difficult to see why Subway has landed in the top 10 again in 2024, and we will likely be celebrating the same triumph again this time next year. Our commitment to our employees, brand, and customers are a key ingredient of each of our successes, and may this continue as the UK’s leading sub servicer.
