questions.
___ Hello Friends, today I'm going to discuss about one of the biggest
restaurant chains of the world - Subway, which was opened as a small
sandwich shop 52 years ago.
It is said that this restaurant chain came into existence with a lot of
struggle initially. So let's know the success story from beginning.
The story starts when in 1965, the 17 yr old Fred Deluca opened a
sandwich stall. Actually, Fred had never desired to become a
businessman. He wanted to become a doctor. But he had no money for
medical studies. He moved his own expenses clumsily. Seeing him in
trouble, his family friend Peter helped him by giving 1000 dollars and
advising him to open some shop so that he could pay his college fees.
Thus they decided to open another restaurant that sold burgers. But
that also didn't work very well. In 1968, they opened a pizza shop
named Subway. It was only because of the determination they had that
they successfully turned it into a profitable business. The Subway had
profit of 7000 dollars in the first year. And then, gradually they opened
franchises of the restaurant and it became a chain.
Today Subway is serving in 44000 locations around the world. With a
desire to keep trying and learn new things, Peter and Fred successfully
created the biggest restaurant chain and the company is guided by
their passion for delighting customers by serving delicious, made-to-
order sandwiches.
