32,000 strong and growing....

Yes, it is true in about 30 days Subway will surpass the 32,000 store mark....

I thought I would announce it before them ! Isn't this an amazing feat for a self proclaimed small time entrepreneur who decided to finish "Big" with a B as in Billions. Not only is he an accidental Billionaire, did I mention someone calculated he makes about $15,000 per minute or more? So while you were reading this, he made .......but reportedly still flies Southwest Airlines

Amazing , and congratulations to Fred and his team. I can truly say that along his arduous Franchise history making journey, he offerred the opportunity to many to join his locomotive to success, and those who stayed the course through all kinds of challenges have been amply rewarded. Many have created cash cows that keep on delivering the cash. Some are thinking of retirement and selling a few cash cows (or pigs) and still others are making inroads into a farm of some sort, hoping to create cash cows for themselves. Some (DA's)even own the Dairy Farm and are skimming the Cream off the top. Others have been replaced by Farm managers. The Entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well in USA - Fabulous ! it is even going global as Subway is now in over 95 countries.

So how will they celebrate this milestone Franchise achievement, and of having toppled McDonald's for the crown of "most number of stores"??  free footlongs for everyone? feed the hungry for a day ? shall we have a Subday?

Any comments, suggestions, anyone?
