The New Miami Subs Grill franchise chain has been on an uptick since CEO Richard Chwatt’s new ownership and appointed management team took effect in 2010. Achieving record-breaking sales comparisons store by store, year over year, Chwatt attributes this to the franchise’s focus on revitalizing the brand through renovation, relocation and a commitment to downsizing existing locations that simply don't fall in line with projected growth plans.
