Restaurant brand Subway has signed five new multi-unit owner agreements to expand its reach across Texas, Florida, Arizona and the mid-Atlantic.
As a part of the restaurant brand’s smart growth development strategy, these agreements will lead to the consolidation and transfer of more than 230 existing restaurants in 2023.
It will also see the remodelling of the existing restaurants as well as the opening of new restaurants in the years to come.
Subway North America president Trevor Haynes said: “A key element of Subway’s multi-year transformation journey is attracting multi-unit owners with the vision, resources, operating expertise and passion for the Subway brand.
“All five multi-unit agreements are an excellent representation of the brand’s smart growth strategy coming to life and demonstrate the confidence operators have in our brand and future.”
The agreements were signed with two new operators who have experience running other leading QSR brands.
