“In 1965, Fred DeLuca borrowed $1,000 from his friend Peter Buck to start "Pete's Drive-In: Super Submarines" at 3851 Main Street in Bridgeport, Connecticut, and in the following year, they formed Doctor's Associates Inc. to oversee operations of the restaurants as the franchise expanded. The holding company derives its name from DeLuca's goal to earn enough from the business to pay tuition for medical school, as well as Buck's having a doctorate in physics. In 1968, the sandwich shop was renamed Subway.In 1974, a franchise operation began with a restaurant in Wallingford, Connecticut.
The first Subway on the West Coast was opened in Fresno, California, in 1978. The first Subway outside of North America opened in Bahrain in December 1984. The first Subway in Canada opened in St. John's in 1986. The first Subway in the United Kingdom opened in Brighton in 1996.
In 1989, Subway acquired Cajun Joe's, a Boston, Massachusetts-based chain which sold fried chicken and Cajun cuisine. The venture proved unsuccessful, and most were closed by the end of the 1990s.“

“**Updated Review**So I have been to a few Subways over the past few weeks and they have definitely improved their quality. Went to the one here in North Haven again and the two guys working were excellent. Super friendly and energetic. Made 4 subs for the family and they were great. Not like the last experience I had there with Jen. Definitely would return when these guys were working again! I left my old review here because I was aggravated with the service I got from the woman Jen.I don’t understand this place. I ordered a sub and asked for a little more shredded cheese on the sub and I get smacked with $1.20 charge. Literally a tiny bit extra. Subway has really gone downhill in the last few years. Their bread has the texture of a sponge and never tastes fresh. With all the little mom and pop delis in this area I would choose them over Subway any day. The only reason I went here was because I had a bunch of tokens to redeem that were expiring from buying subs for other people. Definitely won’t be back to this or any Subway.“
