A fresh approach
FRANCHISING is the perfect hybrid between starting a business from scratch and being an employee.” These are the thoughts of Taz Sandhu, one of the newest franchisees to join the Subway® brand, leaving behind the world of corporate banking for a career in franchising.
The Subway® brand is one of the largest and best known franchise brands, with over 2,500 stores now open across the UK and Ireland and bold plans to increase this number to 3,000 by 2020.
It’s tried and tested franchise system has helped thousands of individuals across the world to start their own businesses.
Taz says of franchising: “It offers all the benefits of running your own business, but with the added advantage of joining a well-known and trusted brand, with established infrastructure, support and controls.
“After extensive research, the Subway® brand emerged as our favourite; it’s a globally recognised brand, with a loyal customer base. The simplicity of operation also appealed to us and we liked that the product can be tailored to each customer’s unique tastes. We spoke to a number of multi-unit owners and their feedback convinced us that a Subway® franchise was right for us.”
THE Subway® brand provides training and support; all new franchisees attend a two-week training course at the Subway® brand’s UK and Ireland headquarters in Cambridge. Experienced regional development teams provide ongoing advice and guidance to help franchisees become a business success.
The Subway® brand has recently unveiled a new Fresh Forward store decor. This modern format features clean lines and customerfocused touches such as digital menu boards, free-to-use charging ports and special displays for the brand’s cookies, bread and vegetables.
“I went from a suit and tie corporate life to taking a more hands-on, customerfacing role in the stores. I absolutely love it!”
