Subway hits 100th store milestone
It has achieved significant growth and has created more than 1,500 jobs in Northern Ireland.
Located on Upper Lisburn Road, Finaghy, Belfast, the new store is owned by Subway franchisees and local businessmen, Muhammad Aamir and Akhlaq Akhtar. The duo have been Subway franchisees since October 2007, and own stores on Woodstock Road, Belfast and in the Kings Square Shopping Centre.
Akhlaq, co-owner of the newly-opened Subway in Belfast, said, “It is great to see the Subway brand expanding like this in Northern Ireland and to be a part of that momentum. We are so excited to open our third Subway store and knowing it’s the 100th store in Northern Ireland is just the icing on the cake!”
The team responsible for its growth in Northern Ireland are Development Agents, Neil Black, Paul Heyes and Adam Heyes.
“The Subway brand has been supported by the people of Northern Ireland, who have been loyal customers of ours for nearly 20 years. We’ve been lucky enough to work with an excellent group of franchisees,” Neil said.
“We’re thrilled to be opening a milestone 100th store in the region. The future for the Subway brand is certainly very exciting and we’re all looking forward to working with our franchisees to help them realise their potential and to continue to grow the brand across Northern Ireland,” he added.
The new Subway store is located in south Belfast, on a busy road that serves as a major arterial route between Belfast and Lisburn, and is surrounded by other shops, local businesses and homes. The brand new store offers seating for more than 20 customers.
