Subways range anywhere from $90k - $200k to start. This includes all fees, equipment, and three months worth of expenses. See the post at the bottom of
this thread. The franchisee that made the post says the average store does ~ $400k per year in sales with a 20% net profit margin.

First, thanks to those that replied, I could run with this Subway thing, but I do have more questions/thoughts:
A 2 to 1 sales to investment ratio with 20% net profit is pretty damn good, but is that realistic for every store? (The average often isn't). In addition, I would like to meet those goals the first year of operation.
Also, I was under the impression that for Subway and other food-related franchises, the owner is the full time operator. I have to hire someone for day-to-day, I can't manage this full time.
Anyone Subway franchisees out there to shed some light?
