SUBWAY® Development Site Selection Process Return


Site Evaluation – Notification letter

Complete this section to initiate the sending of site notification letters to the 4 closest stores.  This process allows immediate issuance of letters to begin the notification period while you continue to analyze the proposed property.  A copy of this information is submitted to the Site Development and Approvals Department for issuance of letters.  Upon submittal, a confirmation number will appear in RED text at the top of the form.  You will receive an initial email also outlining this confirmation number.  Following shortly after, you will receive an email with a PDF copy of the submittal.  Note, completion of the Notification Letter section will only prompt the sending of notification letters.  SREC will not be notified of this potential site for negotiation until the Site Evaluation Mode section is completed in full.  You may choose to submit the entire site evaluation, which will also prompt the sending of the notification letters and notify SREC.  Refer below for field direction and definition.

Section 1 - Development Agent/Franchisee Information Return

Select the DA contract number that will support this potential location by clicking on the down arrow and using the scroll bar at the right.  For convenience, after clicking on the down arrow, you can type in the first letter of the name you are looking for, which will scroll to the first listing in alphabetical order for the letter entered.

Enter in the store number that will be assigned to this location.  If this is a location that does not have an associated franchise number (spec location), enter 0 into this field.  DO NOT make up a franchise number or enter in another franchise number that will not represent this location.   If a store is relocating or expanding, enter in the existing franchise number.

Enter in the satellite number that is being submitted. This box is enabled by checking the Satellite location box within the Approval box within Section 2 (Location).  Example of a satellite number would appear as 2345-1, 2345-2.  See section 2 for a definition of Satellite locations.

If a location is being submitted through the site evaluation and there is not yet a franchise number or franchisee, then the user will populate the store number box with a “0”.  A Store Type selection box will appear, allowing the user to select either Awaiting a Number, Spec Lease or Relocation. 

The DA will choose Spec Lease if requesting that this lease be negotiated and signed without having a store number assigned.  In the event that the DA can not find a franchisee for this location prior to occupancy, they agree to take responsibility for the location.  A spec lease should not be used to relocate an existing store.  A DA is required to submit the Speculative Lease Request form to receive the necessary approval to move forward with this location as a spec lease.  To access the form, you can click on the link provided within the site evaluation which will direct you to the form in the leasing section of the document center or you can access SUBWAY Partners™ and search Speculative form through the search option. 

Awaiting a store number should be used if a site is being submitted but the franchise agreement has not yet been finalized.

Select Relocation if this site will be assigned to an existing store that plans to the relocate, but the exact store has not yet been determined.

Enter the full name of the Proposed Franchisee for this location.  You should enter in the name of the primary franchisee.
