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 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.

b) Traffic
Average daily customer count refers to the average number of customers or average transaction counts the existing (non- SUBWAY®) business does on a daily basis. For example, if we are talking about an amusement park, this would be the average daily number of park visitors. If this were an office building, it would be the average number of workers and visitors who enter the building daily. A DA will have to use some judgment here. For example, if this were an airport with 5 terminals, and the SUBWAY® Restaurant location were beyond the security gates in terminal B, then the DA would not look at the average number of visitors, passengers and staff that visit the entire airport daily. Rather, he or she should only count the number that actually go through the security gates in terminal B, since these are our only potential customers. There will be many different scenarios for different types of non-traditional locations.

Enter the student population. This is the number of students enrolled in the college. If enrollment fluctuates by season, this can be noted here. For example: 20,000 students during fall and spring semesters. Student enrollment drops to 6,000 during the summer term.

Use the YES or NO button selector to identify if there is a debit-card/meal plan which SUBWAY® can tie into. A debit card program is different from a meal plan. If students participate in a college debit-card (declining-balance card) program, can the cards be used to purchase food at the SUBWAY® unit? If there is a traditional meal plan (such as a plan where students get a specified number of meals per week as part of a board plan), will they be able to eat at the SUBWAY® unit as part of this plan. If there is a debit card/meal plan available, provide details. For example, if there is a debit card system, the university has a campus-wide declining- balance card which can be used throughout the campus for purchases including food at the retail food court where the SUBWAY® restaurant is located. If students can eat some of their meal plan meals at the SUBWAY® unit, the details should indicate that we are part of the meal plan, indicate what dollar value is assigned to a breakfast, lunch or dinner meal under the plan, describe what meal choices we offer as part of the plan, and indicate how the franchisee gets paid by the university.
