In 1972, the name was officially changed to Subway, and founders Fred DeLuca and Dr. Peter Buck owned and operated 16 restaurants. To reach their goal of running 32 restaurants, the pair started franchising in 1974. The sandwich, wrap and salad brand has low startup costs and a business model built with scalability in mind.&nbsp;The brand survives on three guiding principles:&nbsp;<ul><li>Always provide exceptional service to valued guests.</li><li>Offer high-quality, flavorful menu options at a great value.</li><li>Never stop evolving to improve the Subway brand.</li></ul>The brand spans across more than 100 countries and has more than 20,000 dedicated franchisees. The franchise is dedicated to always providing better food and a better customer experience.&nbsp;The estimated investment cost to open a Subway franchise is $182,550–$506,900. A breakdown of the costs is below.&nbsp;<ul><li>Initial Franchise Fee: $15,000</li><li>Real Property: $2,000-$12,000</li><li>Liquid Cash Requirement: $30,000</li><li>Leasehold Improvements: $40,900–$200,000</li><li>Equipment, Furniture and Décor: $90,000–$180,000</li><li>Optional Security System: $2,450–$3,550</li><li>Freight Charges (varies by location): $3,000–$14,000</li><li>Outside Signage: $1,600–$8,000</li><li>Opening Inventory: $4,400–$6,050</li><li>Insurance: $1,200–$5,000</li><li>Supplies: $500–$1,300</li><li>Training Expenses (including Travel and Lodging): $2,500–$4,500</li><li>Legal and Accounting: $1,000–$3,500</li><li>Opening Advertising: $2,000–$4,000</li><li>Miscellaneous Expenses (Business License, Utility Deposits and Small Equipment): $4,000–$8,000</li><li>Additional Funds—Three Months: $12,000–$42,000</li></ul>The standard franchise fee is $15,000.
