“We estimate we will reach more than 40 restaurants by the end of 2017. We are looking for new partners for franchises in traditional locations in Bucharest-Ilfov such as AFI Cotroceni, ParkLake, Promenada, Piata Romana, Universitate, Dristor and in the rest of the country,” Subway officials say.
Subway is focusing on the shopping centers developed by NEPI, especially in Galati, Piatra Neamt, Ramnicu Valcea and Targu Jiu and is also looking to expand to Craiova, a city with a lot of potential, its officials added.
The network has opened 36 restaurants in Romania over the past five years and its representatives say they are still seeing demand for new franchises. Some of the entrepreneurs working with Subway actually operate several such restaurants.
