Subway launches drive-thru in Northern Ireland

Subway has just opened its first ever drive-thru branch in Northern Ireland that will allow customers to grab a sub on-the-go.

Subway knows that its delicious subs make the perfect quick lunch or dinner, but in our busy world many people find that even getting out of their car is something they just don’t have time for.

So, for the time-short people of Belfast, Northern Ireland, the sandwich franchise has the answer to their wishes. Subway’s first drive-thru branch in the whole of Ireland has just opened its doors and lanes, letting customers pick up a fresh, customised sub quickly and easily.

Owned by franchisee Damian Havlin, the brand-new store will also be a Fresh Forward concept design store. Many new openings around the world are trying out Subway’s new design concept, which brings a bright new bespoke colour palette to each store along with digital menus. Explaining why he decided to do something unique and open a drive-thru store, he said:

“We wanted to offer something different to the already loyal Subway customers and we're delighted to be opening the first drive-thru store in Ireland.”

Development manager for Subway Northern Ireland, Stacey Brown, said that the Boucher Road location was “ideal” for health-conscious people in the area. She added:

"Bringing both convenience and quality, the store represents our continued commitment to Northern Ireland and our continued innovation in food and service.”

The new franchise will create around 20 jobs for the area and it’s on the hunt for hard-working sandwich artists to serve the hungry people of Belfast. In the run up to Christmas, seasonal favourites like the Christmas Cracker sub (which contains roast turkey, stuffing and gravy) or wrap, the chocolate and orange cookie and sweet gingerbread latte are bound to be snapped up during lunch breaks and snack stops.
