GREAT TRAINING
ON-GOING SUPPORT
All new SUBWAY® franchisees are required to attend
a two-week training course in Cambridge ahead of
opening their own stores. This intensive training
programme provides you with an overview of
operating a SUBWAY® store and running a business,
including classroom and in-store sessions. On
completion of the training, franchisees are
well-equipped to take the next steps in opening
their own store. Similar training programmes are
available for SUBWAY® store managers as well.
Franchise World Headquarters prides itself on offering
an excellent support network for all franchisees.
In addition to face-to-face training, the SUBWAY®
brand also runs the University of SUBWAY®, a wellestablished online training programme coordinated
by the worldwide headquarters in Connecticut, USA.
Offering over 400 online courses for franchisees and
store staff, the University of SUBWAY® has brought
on-demand learning to more than one million
individuals, and has surpassed 15 million course
completions since its launch in 2007.
The head office for the SUBWAY® brand in the UK and
Ireland is based in Cambridge, offering a local team
of support staff focused on operations, R&D, leasing,
customer service, training and franchisee services.
Across the UK and Ireland we have a network of 20
regional Development Offices that are on hand to
offer advice, support and guidance throughout
the process of becoming a franchisee. Your local
Development Office also provides continued
support and mentoring once you have
opened a SUBWAY® store.

HOW WE MARKET YOUR STORE
The aim of our marketing campaigns is to drive profitable sales for SUBWAY® franchisees.
SUBWAY® franchisees in the UK and Ireland actively participate in the running of the Franchisee Advertising Fund
(FAF). National and regional advertising boards, consisting of franchisees, are elected each year; it is their role to
make marketing decisions and ensure franchisee funds are used to benefit all franchisees.
SUBWAY® franchisees pay a 4.5% advertising fee to the Franchisee Advertising Fund.
LOCATION PERFORMANCE
Generally, the most important factors for performance are the location of the franchise and how well it is run.
Because these key factors are unknown, SUBWAY® International B.V.† cannot predict your results.
In fact, to eliminate possible misunderstandings, the company has a policy that no employee or agent can
provide you with projections as to potential sales, earnings and profitability.
† SUBWAY® International B.V., the franchisor, is a Netherlands-based limited liability company.
YOUR INVESTMENT
The SUBWAY® brand has some of the lowest start-up
costs in the industry for a franchise of its size and
stature. The total amount of investment will depend
on the location, size and extent of any renovation
work required.
The estimated costs outlined on the right represent
a wide range of possible locations. Remember that
costs will vary in relation to the physical size of the
store. A lower cost store is one that would require
fewer leasehold improvements, less seating and
fewer equipment expenditures. Higher cost stores
may require extensive interior renovations, extensive
seating and additional equipment. The figures listed
do not include extensive exterior renovations.
General breakdown for:
Initial franchise fee............................................................. £8,500
Property acquisition fees................. £3,500 - £10,000
Leasehold improvements...........£20,000 - £80,000

Opening inventory..................................... £2,500 - £4,000
Insurance................................................................. £1,000 - £2,000
Supplies........................................................................ £500 - £2,000
SUBWAY® franchisees pay 8% royalties to the
SUBWAY® brand based on gross sales minus sales
tax. A 4.5% advertising fee is paid to the
Franchisee Advertising Fund.
Training expenses................................................................ £1,500
RE-SALES
Misc expenses................................................... £2,500 - £4,000
(including travel and lodging)
Legal and accounting..............................£2,500 - £5,000
Opening advertisement........................... £500 - £3,000
(business license, utility deposit,
small equipment and surplus capital)
Another option for those wishing to buy into the
SUBWAY® franchise is to buy a re-sale store. On
occasion, there is the opportunity for those
interested in buying a franchise to purchase an
existing store from a current franchisee. This can
often result in lower set-up costs, as the store
and all its equipment are often included in the
purchase price. To find out more about any
re-sale opportunities, speak to your local
Development Agent.
Additional funds
– three months.......................................... £10,000 - £25,000
(wages, training and rent)
Estimated
total investment***............................ £86,000 - £223,500
***These figures are estimates of the complete investment in setting up a SUBWAY®
store and operating it for three months. It is possible to exceed costs in
any of the areas listed. Final costs will depend on matters including,
but not limited to, location, amount of renovations
required, type and size of premises and local laws.

PHILIP TOUT
SUBWAY® Franchisee
Philip Tout owns and operates four Budgens convenience stores across the
South West.
Philip opened his first SUBWAY® store, as part of a re-fit of his store in
Cheddar, Somerset. Following its early success, Philip opened a second
SUBWAY® store in his Budgens in Nailsea, Somerset.
“We have been delighted with the way that the SUBWAY® brand has complemented our existing c-store
business in Cheddar and Nailsea, and are enjoying that it is attracting new customers into the stores. We
have tried other food-to-go offerings in the past within our c-stores, but have found that SUBWAY® stores
provide the best option for customers wanting food and snacks made fresh in front of them.
“We’re looking forward to developing our relationship with the SUBWAY® brand further.”

STEPHEN COULTER
SUBWAY® Franchisee
Stephen Coulter opened his SUBWAY® store at Holywood Exchange in Belfast in December 2013. The opening
day was the result of almost 12 months spent researching, planning, training and preparing - having taken the
decision to leave his job as a general manager for a large restaurant chain and become his own boss.
“I had been watching the SUBWAY® brand closely for a long time,” says Stephen. “Once I’d decided that I
wanted to make a move from my management job in the restaurant sector, I started looking around at
business opportunities, specifically franchises. It made sense for me to stay within the sector that I knew
well, but to apply my knowledge and experience and work for myself.”
Stephen employs seven full-time staff at the store, and is keen to lead by example. He takes the time to get
to know his regular customers and can be found - more often than not - working behind the counter, serving
customers and making Subs.
“My advice to anyone considering buying a franchise is simple; just do it - but be prepared to work hard, and
that means being very hands-on in your store, especially in the early days. It’s really hard work running your
own business, there’s no doubt about that, but it’s one of the best things I have ever done, and what’s more
important, I really enjoy it. We’re learning new things every day and making the most of all the opportunities.”
My advice to anyone considering buying a franchise is simple;
“ just
do it – but be prepared to work hard.

RACHEL SHAW
SUBWAY® Franchisee
Rachel Shaw owns and operates two SUBWAY® stores in Thornton Heath and West Wickham, South London.
With a wealth of experience working in the fast food industry, Rachel decided to open her first SUBWAY® store
and hasn’t looked back since.
“I knew I had a good understanding of quick service restaurants, having worked in the sector for 16 years.
I love the product and the fact that the operation is very transparent. It’s clear to customers that the
SUBWAY® brand operates at a very high standard.
“I was intrigued by the brand after a trip to Australia in 2004 for a work conference – the SUBWAY® brand
was everywhere down under! I was particularly interested in this franchise as I’ve always been an advocate
for healthy eating and it has great credentials in this area.”

Development Agent for Derbyshire and South Yorkshire I have become part of that support system, working
with franchisees to ensure they are getting the most out of their business.

development agents and access to online training resources and the University of SUBWAY® all contribute to
the SUBWAY® brand being a world-leader when it comes to franchising.”

value products and a recognised health platform. New franchisees can rely on the fact that demand for our
wide range of great value Subs and salads, including a Low Fat Range, is unwavering.”
