Subway se hace fuerte en España con la apertura de una oficina en Madrid.

El gigante estadounidense de los bocadillos, que en 2015 celebra su 50 aniversario, acaba de abrir una oficina en Madrid, desde la que pretende reforzar su despliegue en los países del sur de Europa. Dicha oficina, ubicada en las inmediaciones del Parque del Retiro de la capital, se unirá a las que la enseña ya tiene en Reino Unido, Alemania, Holanda, Francia, Rusia y República Checa y no sólo servirá para dar impulso al crecimiento de Subway en España sino también para el desarrollo de la cadena en los países vecinos del sur, según explicó hace algunos meses a elEconomista Franquicias y Emprendedores, Marc Kreder, director de Subway para Europa.

To celebrate National Sandwich Day on Saturday, November 3, the Subway sub sandwich and salad chain announced that it has opened its 38,000th location. This gives the brand a presence in 100 countries, providing approximately 380,000 jobs to Sandwich Artists around the world.

Serving more than 2.6 billion sandwiches a year, and with more than 37 million possible sandwich combinations, the chain also proudly adapts its menu and the ingredients used to create sandwiches that honor many of the local food traditions around the world.

"The Subway core menu is predominantly the same no matter where you are. And you can get that great-tasting Sweet Onion Teriyaki or the iconic BMT regardless if your sandwich was made in Boston, Berlin, Brisbane, or Beirut," says Chris Martone, Subway executive chef. "However, many people don't realize that we offer a lot of interesting and flavorful menu options to appeal to local tastes, customs, and religious preferences of people around the world."

The largest restaurant chain in the world, in terms of number of locations, started as one small sandwich shop in Bridgeport, Connecticut. It was opened by then 17-year-old Fred DeLuca with a $1,000 loan from family friend Dr. Peter Buck.

That partnership revolutionized the restaurant and franchising industries and gave thousands of entrepreneurs the opportunity to own, operate, and succeed in their own business.

With customization being a cornerstone of the Subway experience, customers can watch and direct the construction of their sandwich from bread to condiments, with their choice of a wide selection of fresh meats, cheeses, and produce.
