One of the largest fast food restaurants Subway will allegedly expand to the Estonian market and will open its first restaurants here in the next few months, writes Äripäev.ee/LETA .

The U.S. sandwiches and salads franchise chain Subway plans to open up to 25 restaurants on Estonia by 2019.

Subway International's North European and Baltic regional development manager Justin Goes said that Subway plans to open around 20-25 restaurants in Estonia in the next 7 years. These would be located all over Estonia but mainly in Tallinn and its vicinity.


Goes explained the choice of Estonia with the initiative shown from here while no interest has been expressed from Latvia and Lithuania. "Another fact in favour of Estonia is that Estonia is very close to Finland where we have had major growth and the number of restaurants nears 100 thus it can influence our position in Estonia too."
