On Tuesday, Subway, the fast-food chain known for its sandwiches, had sad news to share. The co-founder and CEO of the company, Fred DeLuca, had passed away, leaving his sister, Suzanne Greco, to run the company, at least for the time being.
According to his New York Times obituary, DeLuca, who started Subway with a single restaurant in Connecticut in 1965 and expanded it to a franchise with more than 44,000 stores in 110 countries, was a real force within the business. He is said to have maintained a strong role in company operations, signing checks personally and often driving around the country in an old car to different restaurants to sample the food and speak to Subway franchisees and customers.
