Subway: the record braking fast food chain

Jan. 20, 2012 - PRLog -- Now that Subway have surpassed McDonalds as the world’s largest fast food chain, you can share in their success by purchasing a franchise. The process of purchasing a franchise business is made easier by the professional financial assistance of Portman Asset Finance Ltd with their excellent range of bespoke equipment leasing and financial solutions.

In 1965 in Connecticut, a seventeen-year-old student, Fred DeLuca, opened a sandwich shop with just $1,000. This shop quickly became known as ‘Subway’ and become famous for their delicious submarine, or ‘sub’, sandwiches as they grew into a worldwide fast food chain. Their key ethos has always been to provide fresh, healthy food on the go and this is as true today as it was in 1965.

Subway’s popularity has grown to such an extent that they have overtaken McDonalds as the largest fast food chain in the world. With close to 34,139 outlet stores across the globe, the famous burger chain has finally been pushed into second place and Subway’s growth shows no sign of slowing. Subway restaurants have been opened in 96 countries around the world.

Becoming a Subway franchisee is to become an important part of the Subway story and allows you to share in the success of this established company. Subway provides plenty of support and advice for people starting a franchise, whether it is your first one, or an addition to an existing Subway franchise business.
