SUBWAY chain opens its first Halal store in Walthamstow

THE SUBWAY® chain, the UK and Ireland's fastest growing sandwich retailer, is opening its first Halal store in Walthamstow, East London. The store re-opened its door on the 27th June 2007, and is the first of what could be up to 200 Halal SUBWAY stores across the UK and Ireland. "The introduction of Halal meats shows a true commitment by the SUBWAY® chain to offering customers a choice. We have worked diligently with our suppliers to introduce a full range of certified Halal meats. We can now offer our Muslim customers our full range of Subs that are fresh, made-to-order and just the way our customers like them," says SUBWAY® Operations Director, Mark Bradley.

SUBWAY® Franchisee, Farhat Abbas, is delighted to be able to bring the SUBWAY ® chain to his community. "The first Halal SUBWAY ® store in the Selbourne Walk shopping centre will offer our Muslim community a full menu eating experience.

All the meat we use has been prepared according to the rules of Halal and has been certified by the Islamic Foundation of Ireland."

The SUBWAY chain can draw upon the expertise and knowledge of numerous franchisees and stores in many predominantly Islamic countries around the world, and is one of the fastest growing retailers in the UK and Ireland.
