Subway Began as a Way To Pay for College
Subway’s story began in 1965 when 17-year-old Fred DeLuca sought a way to fund his college education. He turned to family friend Dr. Peter Buck, a nuclear physicist, who suggested opening a submarine sandwich shop.
With a $1,000 loan from Dr. Buck, DeLuca and Buck launched their first store, “Pete’s Super Submarines,” in Bridgeport, Connecticut. The name was later shortened in 1968.
The initial goal was to offer affordable, customizable sandwiches using fresh ingredients, catering to customers seeking quick and nutritious meals. This approach resonated with the public, leading to the business’s rapid growth.
By 1974, the shop began franchising, and DeLuca and Buck successfully opened 16 Subway shops across Connecticut. To grow even faster and reach their goal of 32 locations, they took a bold step — franchising. That move sparked a wave of expansion and helped turn Subway into one of the most recognized sandwich brands in the world.
Today, the brand boasts over 37,000 locations across more than 100 countries, making it one of the largest global fast-food chains. Subway’s commitment to quality and affordability has remained steadfast, ensuring that customers worldwide can enjoy their favorite subs made to order.
On July 15, 2013, DeLuca announced that he was being treated for leukemia. He died two years later on Sept. 14, 2015, in Lauderdale Lakes, Florida. He was 67.
Buck died on Nov. 18, 2021, at the age of 90. No cause of death was given, per The New York Times.
