About Subway:
The story of the Subway brand begins about 50 years ago when Dr. Peter Buck, a nuclear physicist, by profession, collaborated with his student to open a “submarine sandwich shop”. Through this idea, the scientist wanted to help college freshman Fred DeLuca pay his tuition fee. Dr. Peter provided an initial investment of $1000 which went on to change the entire landscape of the fast-food industry, however, providing people with a much healthier option. Teacher-Student turned business partners opened their first restaurant in Bridgeport, Connecticut, where they served fresh, affordable, made-to-order sandwiches.
Today, the SUBWAY brand is the world’s largest submarine sandwich chain with more than 44k locations in more than 100 countries. The brand entered India in 2001. The first SUBWAY restaurant opened in Saket, New Delhi. It offers one of the freshest, unadulterated food choices in the fast-food chain and has become one of the generic names in Urban Indian households.
