John Chidsey, Global CEO of Subway, today inaugurated the brand’s 850th store in India, marking a significant milestone in the QSR chain’s rapid growth trajectory. This marks John’s first visit to India as CEO of Subway Global, following the company’s partnership with Culinary Brands.
India has emerged as one of the fastest-growing international markets for Subway, with plans to become the largest Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) chain in the country over the next decade. The brand has introduced a modernised store design and fresh menu options to cater to evolving consumer preferences. Recently, Subway launched its indulgent Hot and Cheesy Signature Subs range, featuring 1.5x filling with lots of cheese. It also introduced a Breakfast Special sandwich menu paired with coffee, available from 7 am to 11 am across select locations to meet the growing demand of fresh breakfast options in India.
On this momentous occasion, Tarun Bhasin, CEO, Culinary Brands, shared “We’re thrilled to reach this milestone of 850 Subway stores in India, and we’re grateful to our customers for their loyalty and trust. As we continue to expand our presence across the country, we’re committed to delivering fresh, tasty and customizable sandwiches, wraps and salads that cater to the ever-changing tastes and preferences of Indian consumers. We are excited to introduce new menu innovations, including Hot and Cheesy Signature Subs, and Breakfast Special sandwiches to further delight our customers.”
