I once spoke to a Subway manger and just asked him on average how many sandwiches do they sell on a daily basis, he responded with 300-500. I was blown away with that number I didn't think this restaurant would sell so many sub sandwiches a day (this location was not in a prime location either). Once he told me that I began to search the net and the subway site to see what are the cost associated with owning a franchise. The site said anywhere from $75-250K investment. I thought this was a lot but then again I thought about what the store manager told me and I immediately thought that this probably couldn't be so bad.
The next issue that arose was what exactly would I need for an application. I saw that it didn't seem so lengthy I just had to leave my information on the website and they would send more information directly to me. I saw that its process was similar to McDonald's in that I needed some business experience, money and a strong will to succeed. So if you can make it through the process and you have plenty of capital then a Subway could be yours.
I noticed from different websites and just looking around that Subway could be facing a unique and serious challenge. This challenge was overcrowding. Although I loved eating Subway it seemed as though every which way I turned there was a Subway. This led me to believe that if there were so many within a small radius could this affect sales and profits for the franchisees? Thus far I have not been given any solid evidence that can justify my idea but it's just an issue I think is important for all prospective owners.
Lastly I think the Subway franchise is great for the right person who can afford the cost and who has the commitment. I think the ROI could potentially be great but it all depends on location and how much marketing is put in on behalf of the franchisee. There is a reason Subway is the number one franchise in America and I don't see that changing for many years to come.
