Subway Sandwich





Subway is the trade name of a multinational franchising company selling
sandwiches and salads. The corporate parent of Subway is Doctor's
Associates, based in Connecticut, USA. In the late 1990s, Subway overtook
the McDonald's Corporation as the fast food chain with the most sites in the
USA. Many restaurant analysts attribute this to the growing concern on
health by restaurant customers, a trend that Subway has taken advantage in
its marketing.

The company takes its name from the submarine sandwich, so named for its
shape, which was shortened to sub. The chain punningly uses the New York
Subway, a metro system, as its decorative motif, and has a sandwich named
the BMT for one of New York's subway lines.
