Kuwait City-Kuwait: 02 November, 2011 - SUBWAYÒ restaurants in Kuwait, part of the world's largest submarine sandwich franchise, achieved a milestone in Kuwait with the recent opening of its 50th restaurant at the Jahra Al Salam Complex.

Earlier this month, new branches were rolled out at the Salmiya Marium Complex and Mubarak Al Kabeer area. All three stores are open from 10:00am-2:00am throughout the week. Charting a phenomenal growth, the SUBWAYÒ restaurant chain has come a long way since the brand inaugurated its first store in 1996 on the Old Salmiya shopping street.

Abdul Rahman Almutairi, SUBWAYÒ restaurants in Kuwait Development Agent and Multi Units Owner, said: "We are proud to be a pioneering food and beverage brand in Kuwait. The popularity of our nutritious offerings is reflected through our quick-paced growth. We unveiled a record seven outlets in 2010 and are well on our way to attain our target of an overall 60 locations before the end of 2011. We aim to continue on our growth-path and add 40 more locations to our portfolio within the next five years to bring the total to a grand 100 in Kuwait."

Almutairi was recognized as the Development Agent of the Year for his unmatched accomplishment in developing the SUBWAYÒ brand within his territory, as well as communicating within and complying with the SUBWAYÒ restaurants franchise system. Almutairi was also named the SUBWAYÒ Restaurants Franchisee of the Year for the extensive sales network he has built that has recorded increased profitability and excellent store evaluations.

The SUBWAYÒ chain recently became the largest submarine sandwich franchise in the Arab world with more than 250 restaurants in some of the most important locations. It currently boasts more than 110 stores in the UAE, 50 in Kuwait, 47 in Saudi Arabia, 15 in Qatar, 11 in Bahrain, 9 in Oman, 8 in Jordan, four in Egypt and five in Lebanon.
