Subway Corporate Makes its Move to Miami

According to Restaurant Business Online; Subway, the Milford Connecticut based sandwich chain, will be relocating 10% of its operations to Miami. The new location is reported to be near Miami National Airport which also happens to be closer to home of John Chidsey, CEO of Subway, in Coral Gables.

In a statement following the company's announcement, “A Miami presence allows us to keep our finger on the pulse of more cultural conversations and the evolving tastes of the modern consumer. With its dynamic business climate, diverse population and multicultural influences, it is the ideal place to transition some of our consumer-facing roles.”

The departments that are relocating include; marketing, culinary teams, and global transformation teams. This move will also make their U.S. and Canada based teams have stronger integration with their supply chains. Subway plans to move by the spring of 2022.

This change for Subway comes after a year of layoffs and an 'executive overhaul,' with a large number of store closings and buyouts.

Chidsey's former chain, Burger King, is also located in Miami, as well as its sister company - Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen.
