In 2013, Subway had branches in 102 countries around the world with annual sales of $9 billion. From a part-time business, Subway has become one of the most popular chain restaurants in the world. Its consumer-focused approach has made it one of the most successful businesses of all time. For years, the opacity and aggressive pace of development of the metro system - Mr. DeLuca dreamed of opening 50,000 stores by 2017 - went hand in hand. The company encouraged stores to open within blocks of existing sites, with development agents often giving choice to historic franchisees: operate the new restaurant itself or compete with someone recruited by Subway. Franchisees who felt pressure sometimes chose the first option. For their part, merchants say Subway wants to get them into trouble by imposing their 20-year franchise contracts for the first time in their history. But franchisees point out that losing business can be hard to sell. And because Subway refuses to assure them that they can move away from franchise agreements without any problems, some channel operators are preparing for difficulties.

Since Mr. DeLuca`s death, the company has been fragile. It was slower than many rivals to launch a digital loyalty program and mobile control options. Revenue fell last year to $10.4 billion, up 9.5 percent from 2015, according to market research firm Technomic. In recent months, the channel has added a new chief information officer, a marketing director and a North American vice president. Ms. Greco retired last year. The document would be difficult for everyone to deal with.

But Alexander Dembski, who has coached many new subway owners for a 34-year career, estimated in 1998 that 30 to 50 percent of the chain`s franchisees were immigrants and that more than a third of the candidates performed poorly on math and English proficiency tests. They don`t need specific skills or experience to become a subway franchisee. Instead, you need the skills, personality and market knowledge to run your own business - the brand training team will teach you the rest. You must also commit to the company, as a Subway franchise contract lasts 20 years. Here`s a little more information about joining the franchise. As The Post reported at the time, last year, Subway made 718 complaints against franchisees, mostly through arbitration, and is typically involved each year in hundreds of other disputes with U.S. franchisees than all of its major competitors combined. It is a statistically proven fact that fast food in the United States is billion dollar stores. In 2015, the sector`s revenue was estimated at approximately $200 billion and the sector is expected to grow at an annual rate of 2.5% over the next few years.
