Mr. Sub Sarnia

ONCE UPON A SUB. There’s a lifetime of history in every MR.SUB. From the first restaurant in 1968 – opened at the height of the hippie era – to the country-wide franchise we know today, MR.SUB has come a long way. But while a lot has changed during this time, one thing remains the same: our commitment to our original concept of selling quality subs, making them fresh, and serving them fast. THE HISTORY OF FRESH. Bell-bottom jeans, tie-dyed shirts, and bearded hippies, the 60’s were a magic time. Everything was new. Everything was exciting. Everything was fresh. In Toronto, the mecca for action and excitement was Yorkville. Crowded with colourful boutiques and noisy coffee houses, it was a narrow avenue packed from end to end with the hungry masses. And on the avenue came two friends with a bright idea: sell quality food; serve it fast; make it fresh...and above all, give customers value for their money. GUESS WHAT? IT WORKED! The two friends raised a total of $1500, took their idea of making fresh sandwiches and opened the first Mr.Submarine at 130 Yorkville Avenue. The response was overwhelming. Five months later the two founders opened a second Mr.Submarine.
