What’s hot


ubway is one of the largest and best- known franchise businesses, with over 2,500 stores across the UK and Ireland and more than 44,000 stores in over 110 countries. Its successful franchise model is enabling thousands of ambitious and entrepreneurial individuals to fulfil their dreams of becoming their own boss. Subway franchisees work for themselves within their local communities, but within a tried-and-tested framework. World-class training and support is provided by the brand to help ensure each and every franchisee maximises the success of their store. A Subway franchise is hugely rewarding; that’s why over 70 per cent of new stores established are by existing franchisees. Subway franchisees are expected to work hard, particularly in the early stages to get their stores up and running successfully, but a franchise can offer greater flexibility, a better work-life balance and the chance to be in control of your own destiny. Twin brothers Kurtis and Daniel Berry, aged 21, are two of the newest franchisees to join the Subway brand’s global franchise network. Based in Kent, the pair run their own store in Maidstone, as well as three additional stores in Sandwich, Broadstairs and Gillingham on behalf of another franchisee. Daniel says: “Both my brother and I love the pace that the quick-service restaurant sector brings – it keeps your working day fresh and lively, which keeps you motivated and inspired.


Subway S


We’re very ambitious and our goal was always to operate our own business, which is when we started researching opportunities and discovered franchising with the Subway brand. “Franchising with the right partner was


of paramount importance, so we carried out a lot of research to find out about the benefits of each one; reading case studies of existing Subway franchisees was hugely helpful and allowed us to really see ourselves in that role. We also love the product so, in the end, it was an easy decision and we couldn’t wait to apply.” Kurtis adds: “There’s always an element


of risk when starting out on your own, but this makes success all the more rewarding. The benefit of joining a reputable franchise, like Subway, is that you’re working within a tried-and-tested business model and have a support system in place, which makes it easier to take the big leap.” Subway franchisees benefit from:


• Comprehensive training: all franchisees take part in a two-week training course at the training centre in Cambridge. There are also interactive online training courses available through the University of Subway


for franchisees and their staff


• Ongoing support: experienced regional development agents provide advice and mentoring onsite selection, leasing, operations, local store marketing and much more


• Regular franchisee conventions provide an opportunity to network with fellow franchisees and staff


• Marketing: national and regional advertising boards, made up of franchisees, organise and fund national and regional marketing activity on behalf of all franchisees


• Purchasing and supply chain management: a franchisee-owned purchasing company manages the purchasing and supply chain activity for all food, packaging, equipment and services in the UK, Ireland and other European countries.


The Subway brand is continuing to


expand throughout the UK and is always looking for new franchisees to become part of the Subway success story. There has never been a better time to start thinking about what new opportunities may be out there for you.
