Be Part of a WINNING team with the #1 Franchise*
Fred DeLuca and Dr. Peter Buck opened the first SUBWAY® restaurant in the city of Bridgeport, Connecticut, USA, in the summer of 1965. They later incorporated in the name of Doctor's Associates Inc.
Today, the SUBWAY® system is the largest restaurant chain in North America and is poised to become the largest restaurant chain in the world.
Each SUBWAY® restaurant is focused on making great sandwiches. In fact, it is so great, that many SUBWAY® customers have become franchise owners simply because they believe in the product.
