US-based fast-food restaurant chain Subway has announced the opening of its second headquarters, featuring an Innovation Center and Mock Restaurant, in Miami, Florida.
Claimed to be a first-in-Subway-history, the new Innovation Center and Mock Restaurant will serve as a ‘think tank’ for food innovation and allow employees to collaborate with the culinary team for new sandwich builds and products, such as sauces or proteins.

The Mock Restaurant is a replica of a real Subway restaurant and has a dedicated space to test products in a real-life setting.
The second headquarters will help the restaurant brand further improve its operations as well as look for new opportunities to boost guest experiences.
Subway CEO John Chidsey said: “The strategic placement of our new office opens the door for an even stronger integration with the Miami-based Independent Purchasing Cooperative, Subway’s franchisee-owned purchasing and supply chain cooperative.
“From its flourishing business climate to its rich cultural heritage, Miami is an ideal location for our business to continue to evolve as part of our ongoing transformation journey.”
