Enjoy a tasty and rewarding career as a Subway franchisee INVESTMENT LEVEL: FROM £86,000
ranchising in the UK is booming, contributing £15.1billion to the economy and providing employment for over 621,000 people. Spearheading this
growth phenomenon is the Subway brand, which is one of the largest and best-known franchise businesses, with over 2,500 stores open across the UK and Ireland and plans to grow this number to 3,000 by 2020. As a result, Subway is keen to hear from ambitious, customer-focused individuals who have the drive to build their own business. Franchising off ers a safer route to business ownership, with the added security of joining a proven, replicable business model that has stood the test of time. 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. One franchisee who has witnessed fi rst hand the unique benefi ts aff orded by a Subway franchise is Tajinder “TJ” Choongh, a second-generation franchisee who followed in his father’s footsteps to open his own store. TJ’s father, Shangara Choongh, is an experienced multi-unit owner with a number of Subway stores across the West Midlands.
“I’d wholeheartedly recommend Subway to anyone thinking of starting up their own business”
TJ says: “I have been guided by my dad all my life. I have worked for him since leaving school and after university – he has really shown me the benefi ts of franchising and what can be achieved through

dedication and hard work. My father’s success with the Subway brand and my experience working in his stores over the years convinced me that franchising is also the right career path for me.” TJ adds: “I’m very lucky to have the support and guidance of my family, especially my dad, whenever I need it. However, the support you receive from the Subway brand is also invaluable. New franchisees go on a two-week training course at the UK and Ireland’s Subway training centre in Cambridge.
“I have also worked closely with my local Subway fi eld consultant and development agents, who have provided help and assistance with everything from store selection, leasing and operations to store development. Their guidance in the lead up to the store opening was priceless.” The Subway brand is socially
responsible, with clear objectives for nutrition, reducing its environmental footprint and making a positive contribution within the communities in which it operates. Subway franchisees are ambassadors for the brand, as well as active members of their local areas, providing employment for over 19,000 people across the UK and Ireland, as well
as supporting local good causes. For TJ, that means working with young people in his local community – through the youth theatre group he co-founded in 2015 – to provide opportunities for them to develop a passion for performing, as well as developing local talent.
Commenting on his experience with the Subway brand, TJ says: “The fi rst year was an incredible rollercoaster experience. I’m very proud to have followed my father’s lead to open a Subway franchise and would wholeheartedly recommend the process to anyone who is thinking of starting up their own business and joining the Subway brand.”
Subway is continuing to grow in the UK
and Ireland and is always on the lookout for hard-working, entrepreneurial individuals, like TJ, who want to join one of the largest and most popular franchise brands.
