Subway: 'Scalability Better Than Anyone Else' As a franchisee with one of the most recognizable brands in the world, opportunities abound.

Being a Subway franchisee is about more than just sandwiches. From its brand recognition and reputation, to its worldwide footprint, to its world-class support network, there are many reasons why opening a Subway franchise is an attractive, smart business opportunity.

"We're very focused on making sure that we service our franchise partners in a way that really helps them drive the business," says James Walker, vice president of North America at Subway. Every new franchise owner receives extensive training-a total of 62 hours of classroom education plus 33 hours of on-the-job experience.

With more than 26,000 restaurants in the U.S. and another 18,000+ locations abroad, Subway's franchise system is focused on is scalability.

"We have individuals who borrowed money to open their first Subway restaurant who now own dozens of locations, and have a large business within their community," Walker says. "That scalability is something we can offer better than anyone else."
