Subway

Brad Harris, Franchisee, Denver, Colorado; 12 franchises

"After working in the SUBWAY® system for seven years as an employee, first as a sandwich artist and eventually as a store manager, all while in college, I had the chance to work as an area supervisor for a multi-unit owner. I witnessed firsthand how the SUBWAY® franchise is such a great opportunity. When I was offered the chance to buy five restaurants and become a multi-unit owner myself, it was a dream come true. Eight years later, I own 12 restaurants and am the chairman of the local SFAFT board. The SUBWAY® system has been a very lucrative and exciting business to be part of. It has made all of my financial and personal goals a reality, while at the same time I enjoy a quality lifestyle."

Paul Jackson, Franchisee, UK; 9 franchises

"I purchased my first SUBWAY® store in Poole in March, 2005, and by June 2007 I had opened my fourth store in the town. A few months later, I was proud to be awarded the coveted title of Franchisee of the Year for the UK and Ireland at the SUBWAY® chain’s 2007 annual convention in Florida. The award means a great deal to me as it recognises the fact that my staff and I run a successful business that not only increases the chain’s brand recognition, but serves our community as well. I credit my success to believing passionately in the SUBWAY® brand and its offering."

"We have gotten what we have always wanted: To operate our own business and to use our skills and hard work to make a profit for ourselves. The operation of the SUBWAY® restaurant requires an investment of intensive work, love and care, but it pays back as the restaurant becomes better and more profitable. We could not succeed in operating our own successful business without the support and the know-how of the SUBWAY® system and the knowledge-sharing with SUBWAY® staff and colleagues."
