Summary

Subway as a company does quite well. They provide quality, fresh, healthy food fast. They have shown steady growth throughout the years and are now the number one fast food restaurant in the United States.

One weakness that may prevent them from gaining more customers is the lack of a drive-through. When people are really in a hurry they will sometimes bypass Subway because they have to park, get out and go inside to stand in line, making it a little less speedy and convenient than Dairy Queen or Wendy’s. Currently, that doesn’t seem to be hindering them at all as they are still ranked over these speedier restaurants.

Subway has come a long way from its beginnings. Fred DeLuca, a 17-year-old boy with a $1,000 loan, has built an empire.
