Subway expands partnership with Gillett's Callington, set to open more sites later this year

There are currently nine Subway sites located within Gillett’s Callington's SPAR stores.

Subway has announced that more stores are planned with Gillett’s Callington, which operates 69 stores across five locations that trade under the SPAR banner.

Both companies say that new Subway sites are in development within Gillett’s SPAR stores in Pinhoe, Exeter and Bugle, near St. Austell, with further stores planned later this year for Wool and Wareham in Dorset. The duo has nine Subway sites so far due to their partnership.

Gillett’s Callington has been a Subway partner since its first stores opened in Bridport and Plymouth North Hill in 2012.

“We were attracted to Subway as we felt it would be a good, complementary fit for our stores and would appeal to a younger demographic that we were looking to target. We were also aware of Subway’s success with other SPAR retailers and were keen to replicate this across the south west where we operate our stores,” Phil Darch, Operations Director at Gillett’s Callington said.

Justin Goes, Regional Director Europe at Subway International B.V, added: “Non-traditional development, through partnerships such as this with Gillett’s Callington, has been a key factor to Subway’s growth in the UK and Ireland and we are keen to extend our collaboration in the future.”
