2. INTRODUCTION
Subway is an American restaurant franchise that primarily sells submarine sandwiches (subs) and salads. It is owned and operated by Doctor's Associates, Inc. (DAI). Subway is one of the fastest growing franchises in the world with approximately 34,187 restaurants in 97 countries/territories as of March 2011. It is the largest single-brand restaurant chain globally and is the second largest restaurant operator globally after Yum! Brands (35,000 locations). Subway's main operations office is in Milford, Connecticut, and five regional centers support Subway's growing international operations. The regional offices for European franchises are located in Amsterdam, Netherlands; the Australia and New Zealand locations are supported from Brisbane, Australia; the Middle Eastern locations are supported from offices located in Beirut, Lebanon; the Asian locations from Singapore and India, and the Latin America support center is in Miami, Florida. In the United Kingdom and Ireland the company hopes to expand to 2,010 restaurants by sometime in 2011.

3. DOCTORS ASSOCIATES, INC.

With more than 34,000 worldwide locations, Subway-owned and operated by privately held Doctors Associates Inc.is almost as ubiquitous as McDonalds, which it overtook in 2001 as the United States largest fast-food chain. Subway shops are increasingly visible worldwide with shops in 77 countries including the Bahamas, Bolivia, Chile, Cyprus, Germany, Hungary, Iceland, Iraq, Paraguay, Russia, and Venezuela. Fred Deluca and Peter Buck, the partners who control this $7 billion (in systemwide sales) private empire, have no immediate

plans to take their goldmine public. Their collaboration has become the largest and most successful sandwich franchise in the world. Subways claim to fame continues to be its freshly made-to-order sandwiches, several of which have seven grams of fat or lessmade famous by Jared Fogle, the college student turned Subway poster boy who claimed to have lost 245 pounds eating Subway subs.

Evolution of a Sub Sandwich: 1960s-70s

Fred DeLuca was born in Brooklyn in the late 1940s, a time when Harry S. Truman was president, Arthur Millers Death of a Salesman had won a Pulitzer Prize for drama, and Rodgers and Hammersteins South Pacific was a hit on Broadway. Although there were not many ways a kid his age could earn money in the 1950s, DeLuca didreturning two-cent bottles found around the Bronx housing project where he lived. When his family moved upstate to Schenectady, young Fred delivered newspapers, gradually increasing his clientele until his route covered some 400 patrons on Sundays. Originally planning to study pre-med in college, DeLuca was faced with the daunting challenge of raising tuition money. It was 1965 and DeLuca was 17. Concentrating on his immediate future, he worked in a hardware store earning little cash ($1.25 per hour) but possessing plenty of ambition. He was looking for another job, something paying more than minimum wage, when he struck up a conversation with family friend Dr. Peter Buck at a barbecue. Buck was a nuclear physicist, and he talked about a popular sandwich shop near his hometown. Buck wondered aloud if DeLuca should open a shop serving submarine sandwiches, a food item gaining considerable popularity. Over the next four hours, the two drew up a business plan; with a $1,000 start-up loan from Buck, the two became partners.

DeLuca moved quickly, looking for a location the very next day. On August 25, 1965, Petes Super Submarines opened in Bridgeport, Connecticut, serving fresh made-to-order sandwiches with a choice of toppings and condiments, though oddly, without lettuce (it appeared on the menu later). The shop location was not ideal, but was only a short distance from the hardware store where DeLuca had worked. There was little fanfare and few customers, but Buck and DeLuca met regularly in the latters family home, discussing strategy over homemade pasta. The new enterprise, however, did not stop DeLuca from beginning his freshman year at the University of Bridgeport in September (he graduated in 1971 with a B.S. in psychology). Juggling his studies and the sandwich shop, weeks turned into months for DeLuca and the business never soared as planned. Yet rather than give up and abandon the partnership, Buck and DeLuca decided on another gambitto open a second location in 1966. They hoped that increased visibility and name recognition would steer more customers to Petes Super Submarines. They then decided to take their gamble even further, by opening a third location. The third time was the charm. The old adage proved right on the money as the third storein a highly accessible and visible locationbegan to take off. Not particularly superstitious, DeLuca and Buck did consider three their lucky number and later emphasized positive numerology in their corporate marketing campaigns. As the business progressed, the partners found the name cumbersome and thought it sounded like pizza marine. Consequently, Petes Super Submarines was renamed Subway, taken from New York Citys underground railways built in the early 20th century. The shops name was emblazoned in yellow, and the inside dcor consisted of faux newspaper articles heralding the new mode of transportation. In 1974, as the partners approached the tenth year of their alliance, they were supposed to have had 32 submarine shops according to their initial business plan. Instead, they had half this number and decided to explore another option: franchising. DeLuca believed franchising was the wave of the future and had soon convinced a friend to become the first franchisee.

The new store opened in upstate Wallingford. The move, though a sound business decision, was a profound risk. The world was experiencing inflation, the dollar had been devalued twice in two years, an energy crisis had forced Americans to cut back on power and fuel usage, and unemployment was on the rise. DeLuca and Buck, however, seemed to have the golden touch. The franchised Subway did well, as did its successors (another 14 or so within the year). Although franchising was an excellent way to expand a business, DeLuca and Buck tinkered with the system for years before finding a formula with which they were completely happy. Yet both had discovered the incontrovertible truth that new business owners needed to invent a product and entice an ever-growing number of customers. Doing both was demanding, but with franchising, the idea and product were already established so the new business owner simply had to bring in a clientele and keep them happy.

From Nowhere to Everywhere: 1980-94

By 1983 there were 200 Subway shops and DeLuca and Buck discovered one of the largest hurdles was keeping their brand consistent in all locations. This was when the partners decided to have each location bake its own bread on the premises. As the first fast-food chain to bake bread at each location, Subways sales steadily increased. The bread became a signature product with its ingredients and oven time trade secrets. Just two years later, in 1985, after 20 years of partnership, DeLuca and Buck had 596 Subway stores in the United States and abroad; by 1987, the number had more than tripled to 1,810 shops. Subways phenomenal growth continued unabated throughout the remainder of the 1980s and into the 1990s. In 1988 Subway earned the top spot on Entrepreneur magazines Franchise 500 as the number one sandwich franchiser in the United States (a title it would hold for four years in a row). By 1989 there were 4,071 stores and by 1992 there were 7,327.

As more and more Subway franchises popped up across the nation as well as outside the United States, the partners had created the University of Subway, an intensive two-week course at headquarters. Prospective franchisees learned the ins and outs of the Subway business, from the standard dcor to bookkeeping, from baking the signature bread to the varied ingredients that made up the chains popular sandwiches. Another key to Subways ongoing expansion was innovation and taking convenience a step further than its competitors. Subway stores began appearing in unusual locations, catering to consumers where they might not expect a sandwich shopat convenience stores and truck stops. These nontraditional locations were a hit with traveling consumers and by 1993 some 50 such shops dotted the nation, with more on the way. Although these uniquely placed shops were a fraction of Subways 8,450 locations worldwide, they thrived and came to make up a fifth of the companys global sales in coming years. In 1994 Subway was nearing the 10,000 mark and DeLuca was determined to take on the worlds largest fast-food chain, McDonalds Corporation. Although Subway was aggressively targeting the leader, the burger giant, founded in 1948, had nearly 20 years on the upstart. No slough to ingenuity, McDonalds had stores in such nontraditional locations as Wal-Mart stores and gas stations. A key to the success of both chains had been consistency. Customers counted on McDonalds dcor and menu to be virtually the same from town to town; the same was true of Subway. Each chain, of course, made menu concessions in some countriesfor Subway it was no pork products in areas with large Muslim populations; lots of salmon at the Norway shop; chicken salad with curry in British Subways; and chicken satay with peanut sauce in Australian locations.

A Global Leader: 1995-99

By 1995 Subway had sales of nearly $2.6 billion and 11,420 locations. DeLuca and Buck became increasingly active in charitable causes, giving to a variety of groups including the Girl Scouts of America, Habitat for Humanity, Junior Achievement, the Muscular Dystrophy Association, the Yale-New Haven Childrens Hospital, and many others. The company also held several business association memberships (Better Business Bureau of Western Connecticut, the Connecticut Restaurant Association, the International Franchise Association, the Milford Chamber of Commerce) and even turned to environmental issues. In this vein, Subway introduced the Chocolate Brazil Nut cookie in 1995, full of Brazilian nuts harvested from the Peruvian rainforests, which in turn employed some 250 people and helped keep the rainforest alive. In Subways history 1996 turned out to be a stellar yearthe company continued to dominate Entrepreneur magazines Franchise 500 (regaining the title in 1993 and holding on to it into the early 2000s), and revenues increased nearly 25 percent to $3.2 billion, an incredible financial spurt by any standard. Part of the leap had come from further expansion to 12,516 locations, much of it in nontraditional settings. This was backed up by the numbers in 1997, when nontraditional shops reached 2,700, or about 20 percent of the chains locations. The company had explored a myriad of unusual possibilities, including railway and bus stations, airports, casinos, amusement parks, arenas, hospitals, museums, and department stores. Subway shops in high schools, colleges, and universities were especially successful for both the company and the schools, as students stopped leaving campuses for lunch, bringing profits and jobs back into these establishments. Yet another major coup had been an exclusive agreement with NEXCOM (Naval Exchange Commission) to put Subway shops on naval bases worldwide. With Subways ongoing success and rapid expansion, Wall Street and franchisees alike wondered if DeLuca and Buck would ever take their privately owned company public. The response was usually vaguenot an unequivocal denial, but a carefully evasive statement.

We think that going public could take the focus off developing the business for our franchisees, DeLuca told the Winston-Salem (N.C.) Journal in 1997, leaving the possibility open. By the fall of 1998 Subway had more than 13,229 shops worldwide and made changes to both its marketing strategy and its menu. A family-oriented advertising campaign was launched to bring kids into the stores, while three wraps (using tortillas instead of bread) were added to the menu for health-conscious adults. The wraps, which had gained popularity in restaurants as a healthy alternative to bread, had been tried on a limited basis and proved successful enough to be added to the menu permanently. Although sales for 1998 did not climb significantly ($3.4 billion, up from $3.3 billion the year before), Subway was still in solid financial shape. Having overtaken Burger King as the second largest international restaurant chain (it had less than 11,000 stores, though it remained the number two burger chain), Subway continued to target McDonalds, which still owned the lions share (more than one-third) of the sandwich market. In 1999 McDonalds had more than 25,000 locations worldwide and 40 percent of the U.S. fast-food market. Subway planned to topple McDonalds by opening 950 shops annually until 2005, including new locations in India, Germany, and Scotland, and eventually to have Subway shops in every country in the world. In the submarine sandwich marketplace, however, both Blimpie (ranked second to Subway) and Quiznos (ranked third) were gaining ground. Although the New York-based Blimpie International had 2,000 shops by the end of 1999 and the Denver-based Quiznos Corporation had only 600 in the United States, Canada, and Japan, each chain had ambitious plans mirroring those of Subwayto expand and conquer in 2000 and beyond. In addition, there was the entry into the market of another specialty sandwich chain, Schlotzskys Inc., an Austin-based company. Schlotzskys was nearing 800 deli stores in 1999 and, though it did

not consider its sub sandwiches the primary success of the company (which had experienced 40 percent growth from 1998 to 1999), the competitors were certainly eating into Subways bottom line.

The Jared Phenomenon: Early 2000s

An Indiana University college student named Jared Fogle revolutionized Subways marketing when he claimed to have lost 245 pounds eating Subway sandwiches with six grams of fat or less, low-fat chips, and diet pop. Fogles remarkable transformation made the college newspaper, the Indiana Daily Student, in April 1999, and both his and Subways fortunes changed forever. Living in an apartment next to a Subway shop, Fogle was amazed when the stores sales picked up and he became a local celebrity. Mens Health magazine covered the weight loss story and Subway executives heard about it from Jareds mother, who wrote to thank them. Fogle was brought on board as a spokesman in January 2000, the year of Subways 35th anniversary. In addition to the Jared Fogle ads touting its low-fat sandwiches, Subway upgraded its menu with better meats, new items (Subway Selects with flavored breads and gourmet sauces), and additional advertising to broaden its customer base. For years Subway ads had targeted adults who wanted a quick yet healthy meal, and children who enjoyed the Nickelodeonthemed toys available in kids meals. In the 2000s, Subway added teenagers to their lineup, attracting the highly fickle and yet lucrative market of 13- to 17-year-olds, who were generally more concerned with good taste than fat content. The gambit worked, and Subway pulled in an increasing number of teens and adults who favored delicious, made-the-way-you-wantthem subs. By 2001 Subway had 15,000 stores, with sales reaching $4 billion and an estimated customer base expanding to more than 725 million. The company credited menu additions and upbeat

advertising campaigns featuring the increasingly popular Jared Fogle. Other sandwich franchisees, however, were gaining ground. Quiznos had grown to 870 stores and had gained significant market distinction by touting its toasted subs, while Blimpie had opened few shops (only about 100 in two years), concentrating instead on raising individual store sales rather than rapid expansion. Two other franchises were earning reputations as well, the East Coastbased Jersey Mikes Subs and Cousins Subs, based in the Midwest, though each chain was considerably smaller than its competitors. Subway sold a record 2,000 franchises in 2001, besting previous years by a large margin. The chain had stores in 76 countries including new stores in France, Finland, and Poland, despite slower sales for the fast-food industry as a whole due to the terrorist attacks of September 11 and a weakened economy. These factors, however, did not prevent Subway from overtaking McDonalds as for having the most fast-food stores in the United States. Subway had 13,247 outlets by December 31, 2001, compared to McDonalds 13,099 according to Nations Restaurant News (February 11, 2002). As McDonalds struggled with market saturation, some questioned whether Subways growth could continue without facing the same perils, despite its burgeoning sales of nearly $5 billion for 2001 (compared with McDonalds sales of $40 billion for the same period). In 2002 Subway wore its new titleas the nations largest fast-food chainproudly and decided to revamp its shops and image. Stores were redone in muted colors and a more sophisticated Tuscan design, leaning toward a casual and not strictly fast-food dining experience. The upscale image was implemented, as well, to help new franchisees locate in better locations, such as trendy shopping or business areas. By mid-2002 a new bilingual (English and Spanish) advertising campaign featuring Subway poster boy Jared was launched, touting new gourmet sandwiches such as Red Wine Vinaigrette and Chicken Teriyaki.

As Subway expanded internationally to further compete with rival McDonalds, the question of going public continued to plague everyone but its owners. Commenting to Business Week Online (August 19, 2002), DeLuca said he and Buck considered the idea briefly, finding the benefits did not outweigh the risks in their case. Do we want a bunch of additional people shareholdersto distract us from our mission? We did the calculations and decided we didnt have to go public.

Onward and Upward: 2003 and Beyond

In 2003 and 2004 Subway continued its growth both domestically and abroad. New international locations included India, Chile, and Iraq (through the Army-Air Force Exchange Service to provide service men and women fighting in Iraq comfort food), with additional stores opening in Germany and the United Kingdom (which reached 200 outlets). Sales for international locations, including Canada, topped $1.1 billion for 2003, while domestic sales reached an astonishing $5.7 billion for the same period. In addition, Jared continued to pop up in commercials, and his story inspired others to try the Subway diet. The company frequently received letters from successful dieters, crediting their weight loss to Subways fresh, low-fat sandwiches. Subway continued to tweak its menu by adding salads and Aktins-friendly wraps (following the Atkins diet, which blamed carbohydrates for weight gain). Subway also entered into a long-term deal with the Coca-Cola Company by signing a ten-year contract to serve Coke products in its stores. The contract was a major coup for Coca-Cola, considering Coke products had been available in only a fraction of Subways 22,000 stores, with the vast majority selling Pepsi offerings. The new contract covered all Subway stores, both domestically and worldwide.

As Subway approached its 40th year, there were few signs middle age would slow the sandwich chain down. In a January 2004 interview with Entrepreneur magazine (after topping the magazines Franchise 500 for the 12th time), DeLuca discussed the importance of franchisees in the decision-making process and the future: The important thing for me and for anybody in this business is to appreciate the abilities of the franchisees and what they can do to improve a company and help a company grow. DeLuca believed most franchise chains had only scratched the surface of their potential. Twenty-five years from now, the most successful franchise companies will have 50,000 outlets worldwide. Theres a big opportunity for the futureespecially for those companies able to develop not only the domestic market, but also an international brand.

4. HISTORY

6. ADVERTISING
Subway uses the advertising slogan "Eat Fresh" to explain how every sandwich is made from freshly baked bread, using fresh ingredients, in front of the customer to their exact specification, by employees whom Subway terms "Subway Sandwich Artists". In November 2007, Subway's US commercials featured the Peter Griffin character from Family Guy in which he extols the virtues of its new Subway Feast sandwich. Subway has also used instant win competitions based on the game Scrabble as promotional tools. Subway was also

seen in the 1996 film Happy Gilmore. Subway also has a product placement television advertisement campaign for the US series Chuck, ongoing since its first season. As ratings dwindled in the second season, a campaign to "save Chuck" was launched by fans, which involves purchasing a foot-long sandwich from Subway on April 27, 2009, the date of the season finale. Tony Pace, Subway's marketing officer, reportedly called it the best product placement the restaurant chain has done "in several years."

$5 Footlongs
In 2008, Subway began to offer "Five Dollar Foot-long" submarine sandwiches in the continental United States and Canada as a limited time only promotion. All footlongs were available for $5, excluding premium and double meat subs. "Five Dollar Footlongs" quickly became the company's most successful promotion ever. Upon the initial program's completion, customer response prompted Subway to create a permanent "Five Dollar Footlong Everyday Value Menu" that includes some footlong sandwiches for $5 a piece.[21] Which subs are $5 varies by market.
Sub Club For many years, Subway restaurants offered a customer rewards program called the "Sub Clubbers". Customers would receive special stamps with the purchase of a sandwich, earning one stamp for a six-inch sandwich and two for a foot-long; small cards called "Sub Club Cards" were also provided for customers to paste the stamps onto and keep them collected in an orderly fashion. Originally, stamps were redeemable for a free standard sandwich (charges for extras such as double meat or extra cheese still applied) with no other purchase requiredtwelve stamps for a free six-inch, and twenty-four stamps for a free foot-long. A Sub Club for kids was also established, with one stamp earned for every children's Value Meal purchased, ultimately earning a free children's meal for eight stamps. Later, the regular Sub Club was altered to eight stamps earning a free six-inch, and sixteen stamps for a free foot-long, with the added condition that a 21 fl oz (621 mL) or larger drink must be purchased to redeem the stamps. In early June 2005, Subway announced that the popular customer rewards program would be phased out due to counterfeiting. Another reason, which was not stated by the company, for the discontinuation of the program was that there was a large amount of internal theft of stamps by Subway employees and affiliates, including the sale of rolls of the stamps online at places such as eBay. Officially the Sub Club program has been discontinued in the US and Canada by Doctor's Associates[22] and most other major markets

such as Australia[citation needed] have also made local decisions to discontinue the program. The Sub Club program can, however, still be found in Germany and a small number of developing markets. Participating Subway restaurants in U.S. and Canada now offer a "Subway Card" to customers, which functions as a stored-value cash card. In some states and provinces, the card also functions as a "Subway Rewards Card" allowing customers to earn points for free food and sandwiches. Unlike the Sub Club program, no other purchase is needed when redeeming points, and registered cards which are lost or stolen can be replaced.[23] Subway runs periodic promotions that provide free subs for preloading a Subway Card with certain dollar amounts, which are usually listed at mysubwaycard.com. Restaurants in the UK and Ireland operate the "Subcard" rewards program. Unlike the US scheme, these cards cannot be used to store cash.

7. CONTROVERSIES
Sandwich size On February 2, 2007 KNXV-TV with the help of the Arizona Department of Weights and Measures, reported that three Subway sandwiches, nominally each 3-foot (91 cm) long, were only 2 feet 8 inches (81 cm), 2 feet 814 inches (81.9 cm), and 2 feet 812 inches (82.6 cm) long. The maximum variance in length allowed in that state is 3%, which on a 3-foot sub is 1.08 inches (2.7 cm). Upon further study, the report showed that the box designed to store Subway's 3-foot sandwiches were only 2 feet 1034 inches (88.3 cm) in length; shorter than the maximum allowable variance. In response to the report, Subway stated that they are currently in the process of reevaluating their advertising, promotional, training and packaging materials with regard to the specific or implied length of Giant Subs and are taking steps to advise their franchisees to only discuss with customers the approximate number of expected servings and not a specific length of measurement. Franchise relations The Dallas Morning News reported on Subway's seizure of a soldier's Subway stores while he was deployed to Afghanistan in 2006. The stores were owned by Leon Batie, Jr., an Army reservist, who was called up to Operation Enduring Freedom in March 2005, three years after he bought his first Subway. Batie alleged that Subway violated the U.S. Servicemembers Civil Relief Act. A federal lawsuit filed by Batie against Subway was dismissed. Batie then filed suit in state court in Dallas County, Texas. The litigation was settled and dismissed with prejudice in December 2009.

UK VAT Treatment In October 2010, Subway franchisees in the UK lost a high court appeal against paying standard VAT on all toasted subs, as enforced by HM Revenue and Customs. The result of this is that in the UK, a toasted sub attracts VAT, whereas a cold sub, eaten off the premises, does not. Competitors such as Greggs, Quiznos and McDonalds do not pay VAT on similar food. Nutritional content of breads Subway has come under criticism for its use of high fructose corn syrup in its breads. Its "9-grain" bread has especially been cited for containing more corn syrup than whole grains. Casey's trademark case against Subway On January 31, 2011, Subway lawyer Valerie Pochron wrote to Casey's General Stores, a chain of Iowa-based convenience stores, demanding they cease using the term "footlong" in their advertisements for 12-inch sandwiches. Consequently, in February 2011, Casey's General Stores Inc. filed a lawsuit against Subway in U.S. District Court in Des Moines, seeking a legal declaration that the word "footlong" does not violate Subway's rights. Casey's further sought a declaration that the word "footlong' is a generic description of a sandwich measuring one foot, and that Subway's attempt to assert trademark rights is "frivolous litigation."
