Subway has announced a new master franchise agreement in the UAE with development partner Kamal Osman Jamjoom Group (KOJ). This marks the start of a new chapter for Subway in the UAE. Subway is planning to expand its footprint and remain competitive amongst other Quick Service Restaurants (QSRs) in the market.

This agreement paves the way for significant growth in the UAE in the coming years. That includes accelerated deployment of Subway restaurants remodels – featuring a new, modern “Fresh Forward” design – as well as improved, consistent guest experiences, both on- and off-premise.
