Subway says the stores are operational with new social distancing safety measures implemented to ensured the protection of customers, delivery drivers and staff.

The measures include new fixtures, new directional signage to support social distancing, enhanced hygiene practices and the supply of PPE to protect staff, guests and delivery drivers. 

Colin Hughes, Subway UK and Ireland country director, said: “Everybody in our Subway family and the wider communities they serve, has shown great resilience in adapting to these challenging times that we currently find ourselves in.

"We are extremely grateful for their ongoing support in anticipation of this next phase of our gradual reopening, which will enable us to continue to serve our communities and frontline workers, who have helped us all so much in recent weeks.

"We have slowly and safely introduced a new store operating framework that will be rolling out across stores to protect guests, Sandwich Artists™, delivery drivers and our suppliers.

"The weeks and months ahead will continue to be challenging for everyone and Subway will play its part in supporting the new normal whatever that may look and feel like.”

Subway stores will continue to support NHS and key workers. All NHS workers will receive 25% off their orders.
