First Kosher Subway Restaurant Opens In Cleveland

Jewish Community Center Members Can Now Eat Fresh™ and Eat Kosher

CLEVELAND (Tuesday, June 06, 2006) - Consumers in the Cleveland area looking for a kosher meal can now
enjoy great tasting submarine sandwiches, as the first kosher SUBWAY® restaurant in North America
has officially opened to the public at the Mandel Jewish Community Center, in the suburban town of
Beachwood, Ohio.
The sandwich chain's famous weight-loss hero, Jared Fogle, who lost 245 pounds in a year's
time by eating two low-fat SUBWAY® sandwiches a day and incorporating exercise into his daily
routine, was on-hand for the ribbon-cutting ceremony and greeted visitors at a community open house.
The SUBWAY® restaurant at the JCC is under the kosher supervision of Cleveland
Kosher and is owned and operated by local SUBWAY® franchisee and Development Agent,
Ghazi Faddoul.
In keeping with kosher dietary laws, the menu at the SUBWAY® restaurant will feature
meat and pareve; no dairy items will be served. Pareve are foods such as fruits, vegetables,
fish, eggs and bread that are prepared without meat, milk or their derivatives, and are
permissible to be eaten with both meat and dairy dishes.
With slight modifications, such as no pork-based products such as bacon or ham, and
the use of soy-based cheese, the menu is virtually identical to that of any other SUBWAY® restaurant.
"Subway offers a variety of options that tie in well with the JCC's desire to promote
healthy eating and healthy lifestyles. It will be great for fitness enthusiasts and families who use
the facility," said Michael Hyman, executive director of the Cleveland JCC. "I am not aware of
anywhere else in the country where they have duplicated a popular restaurant franchise, item by
item, to meet kosher dietary laws."
At the Cleveland JCC, its 1,400 square foot dining area has been remodeled to the
signature SUBWAY® Tuscany décor, which provides an inviting family dining destination of "fast
casual, not fast food". The restaurant will be open six days each week for breakfast, lunch and
dinner and will be available for dining, take-out and catering services.
"The availability of healthy, quickly-prepared food is a great amenity for JCC members
and the general public. I invite everyone to stop by and try our world-famous submarine
sandwiches," said SUBWAY® franchisee Ghazi Faddoul.
The Jewish Community Center of Cleveland provides programs of exceptional quality for
families and individuals of all ages, including pre-school and children's programs, summer
camps, fitness, wellness and recreation programming, and arts and culture programs.
With more than 25,500 locations in 83 countries, the SUBWAY® restaurant chain is the world's
largest submarine sandwich franchise. The SUBWAY® sandwich chain has surpassed the
number of McDonald's locations throughout the United States, Canada, and most recently, in
Australia and New Zealand.
SUBWAY® restaurants are famous for made-to-order footlong and 6-inch submarine
sandwiches, served on Italian, wheat and a variety of seasoned breads that are baked fresh
daily in each restaurant. Hot and cold subs, many with 6 grams of fat, are available with an
assortment of meats, vegetables and condiments, all added at each customer's request.
