Amman-Jordan: 9 December, 2010 - SUBWAYÒ restaurants in Jordan, part of the world’s largest submarine sandwich franchise, today announced it continues to register rapid growth having expanded into a network of 11 outlets since its launch in Jordan in 2007.
Following the opening of its first store in Mecca Mall in Amman, SUBWAYÒ launched two additional restaurants the same year. In 2008, three more outlets opened in Jordan as a response to the increasing demand for healthy food options for which SUBWAY® has earned a significant reputation in the country.
In 2009, SUBWAY® opened doors to a further three restaurants, which in addition to the two that were launched this year, has taken the total number of stores to 11.
Mohammad Omar, SUBWAY® Development Agent in Jordan, said: “The SUBWAY® concept has received popular acceptance from the Jordanian community due to our relentless focus on the importance of balanced food. Thanks to our initiative to promote a healthy lifestyle with complementary food, our expansion rate in the country has been on an unprecedented fast-track.”
SUBWAY® in Jordan has played a vital role in supporting ongoing awareness campaigns organised by the Jordanian Ministry of Health and other government authorities on the importance of healthy eating habits.

It has 100 stores in the UAE, 46 in Kuwait, 41 in Saudi Arabia, 15 in Qatar, 11 in Jordan, 10 in Bahrain, seven in Oman, four in Egypt and four in Lebanon.
