Moncks Corner Subway Owner Takes Part In Guinness Record Sandwich Making Event

BERKELEY COUNTY, S.C.–To help celebrate the SUBWAY® brand’s 50th Anniversary milestone, SUBWAY® Restaurants earned superlative recognition by setting the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title for “Most people making sandwiches simultaneously,” with 1,481 people making a sandwich.

Moncks Corner Subway owner Cindy Butler participated in the world record breaking sandwich making event held at The Venetian Resort Hotel Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, during the brand’s annual convention.

After the event, the sandwiches were immediately donated to the Salvation Army.

“Around the world each and every day, SUBWAY® prides itself on making great tasting, affordable, made-to-order sandwiches,” said Suzanne Greco, SUBWAY president.

Greco, who started with the company in 1973 as a Sandwich Artist and has led the Research & Development and Operations teams for the past 24 years, continued, “We are extremely proud of the dedication shown by the entire SUBWAY® family by coming together to participate in this record-breaking event, as it signifies our commitment to our customers as we prepare to celebrate our golden anniversary.”

Participants helping to break the record included SUBWAY® employees from around the world – franchisees, sandwich artists, development agents, vendors, suppliers, special guests and staff from SUBWAY headquarters and its purchasing cooperative.

Prior to February 22, 2014, SUBWAY® Restaurants held the record, with 254 sandwiches being made simultaneously at an event held in New York, NY.
