MILFORD, Conn., Nov. 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- With more than 2,000 franchisees actively seeking locations, the SUBWAY® sandwich chain has aggressive growth plans.

The SUBWAY® franchise system is the world's largest restaurant chain, in terms of number of locations, with nearly 38,000 outlets in 100 countries. In order to reach the company's continuing development goals, a contingent of company representatives will be manning the SUBWAY® booth at MIPIM Asia 2012, November 7-9, in Hong Kong.

"To continue providing career opportunities to entrepreneurs and offer our world famous submarine sandwiches to an increasing consumer base, Subway developers and leasing specialists from across Asia will be attending the event," says Chris Kan, Training and Business Promotion Specialist for Subway Real Estate, LLC. "We will be looking for sites and ready to make deals."

In addition, on Thursday November 8th, Subway Real Estate Director, John Devine, will present a keynote address entitled, "A Retail Success Story," about how a simple idea became one of the world's most successful brands.

The SUBWAY® chain is growing and continues to forge ahead with new opportunities in traditional shopping centers, mall and high street locations as well as non-traditional venues such as airports, hospitals, universities, and sports arenas. Since January, the chain has opened 2,200 new stores globally, equating to approximately 245,000 square meters of prime retail space. In total, SUBWAY® leases approximately 4.2 million square meters of property worldwide.

From 10 to 465 square meters, SUBWAY® restaurants come in all shapes and sizes. Because of the chain's unique business model, which has minimal equipment and space requirements, a SUBWAY® restaurant can operate just about anywhere. Restaurant locations include an automobile assembly plant; a new car showroom; a brewery; a church; and a river boat.

The SUBWAY® restaurant chain, a leader in providing healthier dining options, is dedicated to making its restaurants and operations more environmentally friendly and has opened several "Green" SUBWAY® Eco-Restaurants - designed to reduce energy, water, and waste consumption in cost effective ways.
