has ranked Subway Restaurants as first in its list
of the Top 100 Global Franchises. The award
recognizes Subway's achievements in the
areas of revenue, growth, longevity, and

restaurant chain's extensive training program
and ongoing franchisee support as well as its
commitment to consumer health and
environmental responsibility.
Subway offers franchisees a variety of
ownership choices, including not only
traditional restaurant models but also non-traditional
options such as convenience store
and gas station locations. Having exceeded
9,000 non-traditional restaurants in 2013, the
chain is able to support franchisees with
diverse customer service and logistical needs.

expertise and high-level resources
unavailable to the independent business
