Subway and Fawaz Abdulaziz Alhokair Co ("Alhokair") signed a new master franchise agreement in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The new agreement kicks off an ambitious growth plan to nearly double Subway's footprint of 210 restaurants in Saudi Arabia over the next six years by adding a minimum of 145 new locations. It will also accelerate the integration of Subway's new, modern "Fresh Forward" restaurant design in the country, which is backed by the brand's digital-first strategy that provides guests with order ahead options. The agreement with Alhokair is part of Subway's multi-year transformation journey to build a Better Subway and improve across all aspects of the brand as the business expands its presence around the world. This year, Subway has signed master franchise agreements in India, the brand's large agreement to date, and the UAE, as part of its plan to double the number of restaurants across EMEA in the coming years and seek strong partners to support the brand on its journey.
