Subway develops despite of closures

Subway closed five units this year in Hungary. The American restaurant chain mainly offering sandwiches, now operating with 16 units, as the propery of independent franchise partners.

Turnover moderated as well despite the same traffic. The annual turnover decreased by 8 percent, which suggests that customers paid a bigger attention to special offers. In recent weeks, traffic has increased and the company expects a 5 percent annual expansion for the next 12 months. The decrease in the number of restaurants, was not explained by the downturn, but mostly by operational problems. Three of the five closed shops will open again in 2010 in new locations and 4additional units are in the development phase – reports Napi Online.
