Bridgetown.
Subway is thinking about open three more outlets in Barbados over the next few years, Fredrick George one of the internaional franchise directors told Trakker News locations had been identified in Bridgetown, Warrens and the West Cost.
George said the operations had some issues with protection issues:
"There is a lot of hindrance in the importation of food, particularly for Subway. It is a unique operation, a sandwich shop basically, everything is cooked on the spot, so we have to import quite a lot of the product we sell but we do use a lot of local product to complete the sandwich". George said.
"The problem that we have is there are very high dties, some as high as 184 percent which is ridiculously high. Now if these products for the sandwiches were being pre-cooked in Barbados, I could understand but it is not being done so there is no reason for the duties to be so high", he argued.
