ubway is the world’s largest franchise network, made up of thousands of entrepreneurs. Each
Subway store is individually owned and operated by franchise owners who are members of the local community and committed to contributing to their local economy. Subway’s franchise model has helped
many entrepreneurial individuals become franchise owners and take control of their own work-life balance. Could you be next? Myles Bull became a franchise owner at just 26. For him, a career in franchising was always the plan, and he began researching franchise opportunities while at university. “I have always wanted to run my own business; franchising seemed like the perfect way to achieve this – you hit the ground running using a tried- and-tested business model. What’s more, with a franchise like Subway, there is an established customer base, excellent brand awareness and a strong support network in place. It’s the ideal model for people who want to run their own business, but with a proven system.”
"I've no regrets and I'm optimistic and excited for the future"

displays for cookies, bread and vegetables. Myles attended a two-week training
course at Subway’s support centre in Cambridge, which included theoretical content in the classroom and time in a store. “The training was really helpful, and it was fantastic to put this into practice once the store opened. But the support does not stop there. The ongoing advice and guidance provided by the business development team is invaluable. They are always there to provide assistance, whatever time of day or night. “The business development agents and business consultants are very experienced and more than happy to share their knowledge to help each and every franchise owner get the most out of their businesses. They regularly visit the store and even helped with training my staff. “I have more responsibility than I did as an employee, but also more freedom and flexibility, too. I am investing the time and hard work now and planning for my future, so hopefully I have more time and nancial security when I’m older and have a family of my own.”
Myles has the following advice for
anyone thinking of joining the Subway franchise: “Make sure you undertake due diligence. Once you’re sure it’s the right franchise for you, you need to nd the right location for your store. Consider the property and the likely footfall. Think about where your staff will be coming from. “I have no regrets about becoming
a Subway franchise owner and I am optimistic and excited for the future.” With new and existing store opportunities available throughout the and Ireland, Subway is keen to hear from hard-working, entrepreneurial individuals who want to join one of the largest and most popular franchise brands. l
