Subway opens first store within a car dealership
The brand has opened its first ever store within a car dealership in the UK and Ireland.
The new store - which opened earlier this month - is within the Skipton Ford dealership in North Yorkshire and is owned by Subway franchisees, Mark and Ed Bentley.
Catering for the dealership’s customers and staff, the store will also be serving delicious Subs, salads and flatbreads to local people as well as nearby businesses and passing trade.
Ed Bentley said: “We’re excited to bring a new Subway brand offering to our Skipton site and believe that it will be a great complement to our dealership.
“We are also delighted to announce that the new Subway store has created 12 new full and part-time jobs within the local community, which is great news.”
Greg Madigan, Area Development Manager for Subway UK and Ireland added: “Non-traditional locations are a key area of growth for the Subway brand in the UK and Ireland. The simple operations that are involved in running a Subway franchise and the convenience offer makes it a perfect fit for these style locations, in this case for dealership customers and those visiting the store.
“The partnership with Skipton Ford is the first of its kind in the country for us, and we’re thrilled to have opened this fantastic new store with them.”
The Subway store on Millennium Road, Skipton will be open from 7am to 10pm Monday to Friday and 8am to 10pm Saturday and Sundays.
