Subway drives the stakes even higher

Franchise duo Sue and Steve Pasco have opened up a new Subway store on Barnfield Close, Swindon.

Sandwich franchise Subway has opened its first ever drive-thru in the South of England.

The store is located underneath a Travelodge hotel, giving it great custom from hungry hotel guests who can conveniently feast on the franchise’s affordable array of sandwiches, salads, wraps and snacks. It’s one of six drive-thru outlets in the UK and Ireland, joining stores already established in Rochdale, Salford, Wakefield, Guisborough and Belfast.

The new store has created ten jobs for the local community, both full-time and part-time.

The Pasco duo are also Business and Development Agents for Subway in the Bristol and West region. They have specific experience in opening franchises and everything that comes along with it, from site selection and leasing to operations.

Sue is thrilled with the couple’s franchise achievement, saying:

“We’re delighted to have opened our first drive-thru store and also the first for Subway in the south of England! The store is in a great location, situated on a busy main road and close to a retail park – perfect for hungry shoppers and passers-by to stop in for a quick and convenient meal or snack. Being right next-door to a Travelodge also opens up another customer base, and with our menu ranging from breakfast to dinner, hotel guests can enjoy a huge choice and variety without compromising on taste and value.”

Colin Hughes, Country Director for the UK and Ireland, is delighted with the latest addition to the drive-thru branches and hopes to expand not only the franchise, but its menu too. He commented:

“Subway is always looking for great locations to open new stores. Drive-thru sites open up new possibilities for our guests, in that they don’t even need to leave the comfort of their own car to enjoy our wide product range. Guests will also be able to take advantage of our exciting new products and deals, such as our new Vegan Sub and Salad and Ultimate Cheesy Garlic Bread, giving our guests amazing value and more choice at all times of the day.”
