With a focus on fresh ingredients, and backed by the motto “Eat fresh”, Subway has become a dominant force in the fast food industry as Americans have become increasingly interested in healthier eating options.

Subway Business Opportunities: Other Information
Subway has had plenty of marketing success over the years. Complementing their “Eat Fresh” branding, Subway launched the Jared campaign which featured Jared’s Subway diet and subsequent weight loss. Jared has been a spokesman for Subway for over a decade and continues to support Subway in commercials and promotions. More recently Subway has aligned itself with some of the top Olympic athletes from the USA, including Michael Phelps and Nastia Liukin. In 2008, they launched $5 footlongs on select Subs, a campaign that has proved wildly successful and has spawned variations that continue to run at Subway franchises across the country.
