About

Subway is a Milford, Connecticut-based quick-service restaurant chain — privately owned since Roark Capital Group's acquisition completed in 2023 for approximately $9.55 billion, making it the largest franchise acquisition in restaurant history — operating 37,000+ locations in 100+ countries and serving customizable submarine sandwiches, salads, wraps, and breakfast items in a build-your-own-sub format that made Subway the world's largest restaurant chain by location count (though it has since been surpassed by McDonald's in some rankings). Founded in 1965 by Fred DeLuca and Peter Buck, Subway's Eat Fresh positioning, $5 Footlong era (2008-2012), and franchise-heavy model enabled global reach that few QSR brands have matched. In 2024, Subway added 1,000+ new global locations and signed a commitment for 4,000 units in mainland China over 20 years.
