Quantitative Results
Evaluation of:Negative feedback on Subway
"Development sales agents" coerce franchisees to open additional stores,
No exclusivity on territories, new stores open close by.
Brand recently criticized for, undermining its “eat healthy tagline”
management systems are costly to franchisees.
Subway stipulates that the Franchisers purchase all supplies and food products from Subway Corp.
Possibility that Subway overinflates the potential profits to new investors
What are our results?
What is the Plan? Subway Corporation’s overall goal is to continue expansion
globally
(a) To be the number one franchiser of the world (qty and value)
(b) To develop their “go green” environmental principles globally.
(c) Creating a micro-lending movement issueing small loans to disadvantaged people
What is the Plan?
Objective to meet the overall ‘Goal’: Subway sales division continually recruits, hires and
trains “Development Agents” to ensure that they maintain the average growth of 77 new stores per month.
A Subway sales school has been implemented for this purpose
Research and Development: - Flexability in menu products (cultural & Religious) - Global Marketing
We recommend Subway Franchise Investment :
For Investors having limited capital ($90 -$100,000 of less) However, they must be aware that because the profits are between 16 – 20% and they will eventually need to open additional stores if they want to increase profits
For locations in larger territories and economies since they have the ability to expand and open additional stores.
Recommendation
We do not recommend Subway Franchise Investment :
For investors in smaller economies (populations of 100,000 or less), as it would be difficult to maximize profits by continual expansion due to the limitation of smaller populations.
For investors investing in their initial store who are not willing to work in the store themselves as hiring a manager will decrease your profits by 4% - 5% average.
For investors with more than $200,000 capital to invest, they may be better off investing in another franchise where the Royalties fees are less and profits more, (rather than opening two Subway stores)
Recommendation
Recommendation for “Subway Corporation”
Despite the absence of financial information from this privately held company we have analysed their overall performance based on statistics, business reviews and customers comments.
We are of the opinion that their strategy has paid off and will continue to do so in the future
We recommend ‘Subway Corporation’ for investment
