Often, your franchisor will assist you with finding the right kind of locations for your Subway franchise. At the very least, they will usually give a geographic area and a list of potential locations, as they will want to place it in a position relative to their other outlets, but then it’s up to you to do the legwork of going around and looking at them all.

Check the visibility of the locations you are considering for your Subway franchise from the road, and the accessibility from local freeways. If it is on a busy road, you will have the advantage of drop-in custom. Also, is there enough parking at the potential franchise locations? Ease of access and convenience will be a big consideration for your future customers as most of them will be through traffic.

The franchisor wants your franchise to succeed, so will no doubt offer you assistance with reviewing locations for your Subway franchise. Check in your franchise contract to see if anything regarding locations is mentioned and it should detail what kind of help the franchisor is offering with finding suitable locations for you to set up your Subway.
