WHAT'S SUB?
Right from the magic moment you decide to join the Subway® family, we'll do everything we can to make your journey as enjoyable as our subs.
First a Subway® franchise owner in New Zealand, Christel LeBrun fell in love with Hong Kong on a visit in 2010. She decided to move to Hong Kong, where she opened four Subway® restaurants in seven years. In 2017, when the opportunity arose to take over the management of the development office for Subway® Hong Kong and Macau, Christel couldn’t refuse. She quickly made it into a family business, recruiting her son Jamie, who at the time lived in Shenzhen, China.
InvestHK, with their wide reach of local business contacts, recently put us in touch with the management team for Subway® here in Hong Kong. We spoke with dynamic mother-and-son duo Christel and Jamie LeBrun, who head up the Business Development Office for the Subway® brand in Hong Kong and Macau. We discussed their experience so far with the brand, what drew them to the region and how Subway® is maturing and growing.
Today, Subway® is the world’s largest submarine-style sandwich chain with over 44,000 restaurants around the world, 38 of which are located between Hong Kong and Macau. The brand arrived in the area more than two decades ago, when Hong Kong’s first Subway® restaurant was built in the resort town of Discovery Bay by a budding franchisee.
