Launched in downtown Toronto in the late 1960s under the Mr. Submarine brand, the chain of quick service restaurants specializing in freshly prepared submarine sandwiches grew through franchising before adopting the MR. SUB name in 1990 and in 2011, the chain was acquired by MTY Food Group. Emphasizing its fresh preparation, customizable sandwiches, daily-baked bread, fresh-cut vegetables and a variety of meats and proteins, MR.SUB maintains a broad Canadian presence with over 200 stand-alone and food court locations extending from coast-to-coast. Today, the brand continues to evolve while staying true to its Canadian roots, seeking new retail opportunities across Canada. The franchise chain is sourcing well-located 1000 to 1600 square foot sites with strong daytime and residential populations, strong visibility and easy access. MR SUB is an ideal fit for established retail nodes, growing suburban communities and mixed-use developments, where the long-established Canadian brand can complement the tenant mix and generate repeat customer visits. MTY Food’s Nancy Chamberlain is handling the site selection for Central and Western Canada and Sylvain Boissy is responsible for the search in Eastern Canada.
