Subway Franchisee here, ask away.

Location Location Location is my primary advice.

Depending on your area all the Subway Franchise's may have been sold. However many Subways are sold each year. I bought both of mine. Buying an existing store with a skilled manager is the easiest way to go. Building a new store from ground up will require more time especially while your store manager learns their job. If your gonna be very hands off I would say a 15% profit margin is more likely.


Talk to your local Subway DA office, they can give you information about your area such as whether or not they are bulding more, and leads on potential sellers. They will not give you sales data though. Just the way they are.

Oh and you better be a people person, cause your employees are what sells your sandwiches, and if you get and keep good employees than your sales grow.

Oh and Taxes and the governments ( local,state and Feds ) are annoying.
