High
Flyer Brings Britain’s
Number One Sandwich to Parkgate
Britain’s
number one seller of sandwiches, SUBWAY®,
has opened at Parkgate Shopping. The franchise,
one of 1,250 locations in the UK and Ireland,
is owned by Rotherham entrepreneur Mark
Mallinder, who has two other SUBWAY® outlets
in the area.
Mark is really looking forward to the
success of his latest venture. As a keen
skydiver, he is well used to scaling the
heights. Staff training and motivation
are key elements of his approach, and Joanne
Wright, who manages the store, has been
with him since day one of his first franchise
in Rotherham town centre.
Mark comments: ““We pride
ourselves on being able to offer our customers
great tasting sub sandwiches, made just
the way they want, fresh in front of them.
It’s all about great choice – at
any time of the day and we have a wide
range of subs from indulgent to low fat
to great value.”
He points to
the recent British Sandwich Week (11-17
May) to show how popular the sandwich
has become. The £5 million
UK market is moving away from being a largely
lunchtime meal with customers demanding
products at other times of the day.
“Parkgate, with its extended shopping
hours and range of top high street names
is a good location for us,” says
Mark.
