MILFORD, Conn., July 11, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Subway®
restaurant guests will notice something different about their
favorite sandwich shop – and we're not just talking about the new
menu innovations! More than 10,500 U.S. Subway restaurants will be
remodeled with a new exciting design and décor by the end of
2020.
Thanks to a multi-million-dollar grant program that will cover
about 25 percent of the redesign costs, Franchise Owners are
investing to remodel even more restaurants over the next year.
These remodeled locations will join the nearly 1,400 global
remodels already completed and the nearly 900 global remodels
currently underway.
"Our Franchise Owners and their staffs work hard every day to
deliver a great Subway experience for their guests," said
Don Fertman, Chief Development
Officer for Subway. "By participating in the remodel program,
Franchise Owners are making a commitment to enhancing their guests
experience, and showing their trust in the brand. Together, with
all that is going on with our global transformation, we are taking
this brand to an exciting new level."
The grant program and continued restaurant transformation is
part of the brand's global effort to deliver the best guest
experience. The multi-year global transformation is centered on
three key initiatives: updated, modern restaurant redesigns; bold
new flavors, tastes and menu options; and greater convenience and
enhanced customer service for guests.
"Franchising works best when franchise brands and franchise
business owners succeed together," said Stephen Worley, Senior Director of
Communications for the International Franchise Association (IFA).
"IFA commends Subway for their efforts to facilitate these
renovations, which can benefit franchise owners, their employees,
and their customers alike."
Last year, in addition to the new redesign, Subway announced an
$80 million investment to emphasize
new flavors and create a more personalized guest experience in the
restaurants. This new program, free to all Franchise Owners, is
already in 14 countries, including France, Brazil, Singapore and Australia. The program features Flavor
Stations, with even more flavors guests can use to customize their
sandwiches and salads, and Beverage Stations, with such offerings
as Tropical Strawberry Lemonade and Pomegranate Limeade. This
program will be in all eligible U.S. restaurants this Summer.
In addition, Subway continues its journey to bring new and
exciting flavors and beverages to guests. The Ciabatta Collection
and Hubert's Lemonade are the latest in a line of exciting new
flavor combinations and tastes guests can only experience at Subway
restaurants. This year alone, Subway guests enjoyed the Ultimate
Cheesy Garlic Bread, tasted the limited time only cool and spicy
flavors of the Signature Wrap line up, and made their
sandwich dreams a reality with freshly-baked King's Hawaiian bread
at select restaurants.
