SUBWAY at Burns and Burns

Back in 1965, Fred DeLuca set out to fulfill his dream of becoming a medical doctor. Searching for a way to help pay for his education, a family friend suggested he open a submarine sandwich shop.

 

With a loan of $1,000, the friend—Dr. Peter Buck—offered to become Fred’s partner, and a business relationship was forged that would change the landscape of the fast food industry.

 

The first shop was opened in Bridgeport, Connecticut in August, 1965. Then, they set a goal of having 32 stores opened in 10 years. Fred soon learned the basics of running a business, as well as the importance of serving a well-made, high quality product, providing excellent customer service, keeping operating costs low and finding great locations. These early lessons continue to serve as the foundation for successful SUBWAY restaurants around the world.

 

By 1974, the duo owned and operated 16 submarine sandwich shops throughout Connecticut. Realizing they would not reach their 32 store goal in time, they began franchising, launching the SUBWAY® brand into a period of remarkable growth which continues to this day.

 

Today, the SUBWAY® brand is the world's largest submarine sandwich chain with more than 44,000 locations around the world. They’ve become the leading choice for people seeking quick, nutritious meals that the whole family can enjoy. From the beginning, Fred has had a clear vision for the future of the SUBWAY® brand. As they continue to grow, they are guided by his passion for delighting customers by serving fresh, delicious, made-to-order sandwiches.

 

Burns & Burns Convenience Stores offers fresh Subway sandwiches at three different locations in Mississippi: Highway 19 South in Meridian, Highway 45 in Scooba, and Highway 13 South in Morton.
