Washing\u00adton, DC \u2014 Subway is one of the most well-known fast food chains in the world. Subway has been selling its sand\u00adwi\u00adches since 1965. And since then, the company has also been owned by the foun\u00adding fami\u00adlies of Fred DeLuca and Peter Buck. That is about to change, accor\u00adding to the US news\u00adpa\u00adper Wall Street Jour\u00adnal<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Accor\u00adding to the news\u00adpa\u00adper report, the finan\u00adcial inves\u00adtor Roark Capi\u00adtal<\/strong> is about to take over the sand\u00adwich chain. The owner of fast-food chains Arby\u2019s and Buffalo Wild Wings will put about $9.6 billion on the table for Subway, the WSJ<\/em> repor\u00adted, citing people fami\u00adliar with the matter. A deal could be fina\u00adli\u00adzed in the near future, he said.<\/p>\n

Subway had said in Febru\u00adary that the chain was looking into a sale. The sand\u00adwich chain is hoping for a price well in excess of nine billion dollars in a sale. Subway has been owned by the foun\u00adding fami\u00adlies since its incep\u00adtion in 1965.<\/p>\n

Subway with almost 700 stores in Germany<\/strong><\/p>\n

Subway has more than 37,000 stores in over 100 count\u00adries, with nearly 700 of the sand\u00adwich chain\u2019s stores in Germany alone. This makes it one of the fast-food chains with the most bran\u00adches in the world, but it is behind the giant McDo\u00adnal\u00add\u2019s. Howe\u00adver, the chain\u2019s sales have decli\u00adned in recent years. Nevert\u00adhel\u00adess, Subway had recently expres\u00adsed a plan to build even more stores internationally.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
