In 1965, Fred DeLuca set out to fulfill his dream of becoming a medical doctor. Searching for a way to help pay his education, a family friend suggested him to open a submarine sandwich shop.
Dr. Peter Buck has made a loan of $1000 to become Fred’s partner, and a business relationship was forged that would change the landscape of the fast food industry.
The first stores was opened in Bridgeport , Connecticut in August, 1965. After that Fred DeLuca and Dr. Peter Buck has set their first goal of having 32 stores opened within 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 location for their new branches. These early lessons continue to serve as the foundation for successful SUBWAY restaurants around the world.

From a lot of subway sandwiches product I would like to choose the Italian B.M.T sandwiches because it is recorded as the most famous and delicious sandwiches. Italian B.M.T has its own history. The acronym B.M.T stands for Biggest, Meatiest, and Tastiest. In the early days of SUBWAY restaurants, it was a promotion that was based on the Brooklyn Manhattan Transit system in New York City that went along with the subway theme.
