Subway®
We operate a quick-service restaurant business under the Subway® name, serving foot-long and six-inch sandwiches, salads, wraps, breakfast items, and other food and beverage products. Our restaurants focus on made-to-order meals, with guests choosing from signature menu items or customizing their sandwiches with breads, cheeses, vegetables, seasonings, and condiments. We also provide catering, grab-and-go options, and certain non-traditional formats in places like airports, schools, military bases, travel plazas, and other high-traffic locations. In addition to standard restaurants, we support co-branded and satellite locations in select settings to reach customers where they shop, work, travel, and study.
