Subway | Our Story
A handshake that built a sandwich empire
It started with a teenager, a nuclear physicist, and a $1,000 bet on a simple idea: a fresh sandwich, made right in front of you, at a price anyone could afford. Sixty years later, that idea is still the one we show up for every day.
The first shop
In 1965, Fred DeLuca and Dr. Peter Buck opened Pete's Super Submarines in Bridgeport, Connecticut — no fanfare, just a handshake and a counter full of ingredients. They sold 312 sandwiches on day one, and the blueprint for everything Subway would become was already written.
Fresh from the oven
In 1984, Subway started baking bread in-house every single day — a move that changed what a fast sandwich could be. Every loaf at Bay Shore still comes out of the oven fresh, and that's not a talking point; it's just how we do it.
Bay Shore, made personal
At our Union Boulevard location, the crew knows the regulars — sometimes by name, always by order. That's the part no franchise manual writes for you; it just happens when people genuinely like showing up to work.
Always moving forward
Wraps, protein bowls, new flavors alongside the classics that never go out of style — Subway keeps evolving because good food should keep getting better. The BMT is still here, and so is whatever you haven't tried yet.
