Subway has launched trial deliveries through Just Eat and revealed plans to offer a nationwide service by the end of the year.

The firm’s sandwiches can now be ordered through the Just Eat app and website from 31 stores in London, Leeds and Manchester (see list of stores at end of article).

By the end of the year, the business hopes to be offering Just Eat deliveries through 500 Subway stores nationwide – around a fifth of the chain’s total UK and Ireland sites.

The trial follows the success of individual franchisees who have partnered with third-party food delivery companies, offering a service on a store-by-store basis.

Just Eat, which already delivers brands including KFC and Burger King, claims 22.8 million customers and 87,500 restaurant partners globally.

“While the rollout will begin in three cities initially, we’re adding more stores each week,” said Subway UK and Ireland marketing director Sacha Clark.

“We look forward to seeing the results and being able to roll out delivery nationwide.”

Just Eat UK managing director Graham Corfield added that more of the app’s users were ordering at lunchtime and during the week.

“Having Subway’s Subs available for delivery will be a game changer for sandwich lovers,” he said.

In April, analysts The NPD Group said takeaway deliveries – through businesses such as Deliveroo, Just Eat, HungryHouse and UberEats – would grow by 17% in the next two years, transforming Britain’s foodservice industry.
