Subway has announced it is set to open ten new stores by the end of the year in partnership with forecourt operator MRH Retail.

As part of its ongoing development plan, MRH Retail is looking to open 30 stores at select locations by the end of 2015, with three stores already opened in Scotland and a further seven Subway stores planned in 2014.

Subway said there are currently more than 400 Subway stores open or in development in non-traditional locations, such as within convenience stores, forecourt sites, hospitals, universities or transport hubs.

Mike Charest, assistant regional director for Subway Europe, said:

“Forecourts are an ideal site for our non-traditional stores. Due to their simple operations, minimal space and equipment requirements our stores are well suited to these sorts of sites.

“The Subway brand is keen to develop such locations in partnership with successful companies just like MRH Retail.”

John Lynn, MRH Retail managing director, said: “MRH Retail is constantly striving to improve its consumer offerings.

“Our partnership with the Subway brand brings a strong brand and operating system which works well in the forecourt environment.

“We are keen to develop this partnership and look forward to opening further outlets in the coming years.”
