Subway is one of the largest restaurant brands in the world, offering a delicious menu with fresh and healthy options of sandwiches, salads, soups, and wraps based on chicken, beef, tuna, ham and vegetables, with delicious toppings and a significant difference, its bread baked on the spot. It also offers delicious cookies, chips, and multiple beverage options.

We are proud to announce this alliance with Subway, a brand recognised both in our country and worldwide for its commitment to bringing healthy, fresh and delicious menu options,” commented Elías Yanho, Director of the Fast-Food Division of Grupo Vierci.
