Subway sets out south coast growth plans
The Subway brand on the south coast has unveiled plans to grow its portfolio of stores from 109 to over 130 by the end of 2018.
Operated by local franchisees, the Subway stores across Hampshire, East Sussex, West Sussex and the Isle of Wight currently provide over 1,000 jobs for the region. The new stores will create a further 200 jobs and provide opportunities for local people to become franchisees.
Subway regional development agent Mark Bradley (pictured) said: “We believe there is still plenty of room to grow the Subway brand across Hampshire, East Sussex, West Sussex and Isle of Wight and will be focusing our development on stand-alone units, drive-thru sites and non-traditional locations, such as Subway stores within hospitals and transport hubs. To succeed, we need the right people, with the right blend of team work, leadership and work ethic to become new franchisees and help us to deliver our ambitious growth target.”
Subway recently opened its 2,500th store in the UK and Ireland as part of plans to increase the number of stores to 3,000 by 2020.
