Gwalior gets its first SUBWAY® restaurant

SUBWAY®, the world’s largest quick service restaurant chain,  opened its first restaurant in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh. Known for its fresh and delectable sandwiches and salads, SUBWAY® is already present in the state’s key urban centres comprising Bhopal, Indore and Jabalpur. Globally, SUBWAY® has more than 44,000 restaurants in 111 countries.

Speaking on this occasion, Mr Abhishek Bahety, Development Agent, Madhya Pradesh, SUBWAY® India, said, ”SUBWAY’s franchise business model coupled with its globally appealing menu offerings make it an attractive investment opportunity for aspiring entrepreneurs. This is the ninth SUBWAY restaurant in Madhya Pradesh and we hope to expand this number by exploring opportunities in other centres/cities within the state.” 

The new SUBWAY® restaurant is conveniently located in Dindayal City Mall, a popular landmark in the city. SUBWAY® restaurants are completely owned by local franchisees who are entrepreneurs that love the opportunity to work hands-on. Training to franchisees is provided through SUBWAY®’s world headquarters in Milford, Connecticut, USA; five regional offices and various country offices across the globe. The franchisees are supported by dedicated locally-based Development Agents, and their staff.

“This development is in line with our plans to widen SUBWAY’s footprint in metro and non-metro locations including tier II and tier III cities,” said Mr Ranjit Talwar, Country Head, Subway Systems India Private Limited.

SUBWAY®’s menu offers customers a wide array of low-fat vegetarian and non-vegetarian submarine sandwiches (subs) and salads options to choose from. Paneer Tikka, Veggie Delite and Aloo Patty are some popular vegetarian-subs offered at SUBWAY®. In the non-vegetarian category, Roasted Chicken, Chicken Tikka and Chicken Tandoori subs are well-loved by customers. The brand also has popular everyday-value offers for customers like Sub Of The Day and has recently introduced a new snacking product – SubWrap, at an attractive entry level price-point. SUBWAY® has also opened fully-vegetarian restaurants in select Indian cities. 

SUBWAY® has a strong presence in all the major Indian metros. The sandwich chain which celebrated its 50th anniversary in August 2015, presently operates 551 restaurants in India spread across more than 70 cities.
