Subway is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and is best known for its foot-long sandwiches which are served freshly in front of you.
Subway was founded by Fred DeLuca in Bridgeport, Connecticut, in 1965, when he was just 17! The store was originally called Pete’s Super Submarines, after Peter Buck who financed the first store. In 1972, the store’s name was changed to Subway, and the company’s second store opened in 1974. Since then it has expanded to become a global franchise, which is quite something for a store started by a 17-year-old!
