New Subway sandwich store set to open on busy road in Northampton

A new Subway sandwich store is set to open along a busy road in Northampton.

Subway signs have recently gone up and stock moved into a unit on a roadside development in The Causeway, opposite Billing Garden Village.

The company is famous for its wide range of ‘foot-long’ sandwiches.

The franchise owner Stuart Fraser said the store is set to open at the start of November and that he is looking for staff.

Mr Fraser said: “Working as a sandwich artist in a Subway franchise is a challenging role but one that is highly rewarding. Subway Franchisees are proud of their hard working staff and are able to offer fantastic career path opportunities to truly develop a career into supervisory and managerial roles.

“Previous experience in food preparation, retail sales and/or customer service is desirable but not essential because you will receive full training. What’s more important is a winning attitude. If you’re currently working in retail or in a restaurant, perhaps you are studying or have recently graduated and are looking to start a career in the food industry. This could be the perfect opportunity for you!”

Greggs bakery, next door to Subway, opened earlier this year in July.

Ben Taylor at Space Retail Property Consultants said each unit costs £25,000 per year to rent.

According to its website, The SUBWAY® brand is the world's largest submarine sandwich chain with more than 44,000 locations around the world, with 11 of those in Northampton.

It is not yet clear when the new shop will open.
