Sandwich giant and world’s biggest restaurant chain Subway, which has 37,000 outlets across the globe, is now ready to roll out its first all-vegetarian outlet. A private university in Jalandhar has convinced the US-based foot-long franchisor on the benefits of vegetarianism. This would be the second global restaurant chain to have turned vegetarian after Pizza Hut in Gujarat. Jalandhar-based Lovely Professional University (LPU), run by a Hindu Mittal family known for promoting vegetarian meals on the campus, inked the deal with Subway in November last year. The all-veg outlet will open on September 4, a Tuesday when most Hindus avoid eating meat. Such a big headway in the retail front would bring fresh business to the signage community whose activities involve into in-shop displays, branding and others.
