Farmer’s Daughter Sub Shoppe
Sunny Lea Farms was the name of the farm I grew up on, it was an 150 acre property in rural Niagara and was the first caged poultry farm in Canada. My father took great pride in his crops, his turkeys and his daughters, of which he had three. He was the fourth generation of his family to farm that acreage and he did it exceptionally well.
He embodied all the qualities most synonymous with farmers; hardworking, honest, dedicated and reliable. My father trained my sisters and I to work hard on the farm and work up a hearty appetite. He inspired my lifelong love of preparing fresh, healthful food.
My father and the farm are the core influences behind the Farmers Daughter Sub Shoppe and every meal that I prepare.
Mr. Sub
At MR.SUB we’re not just serving Canadians, we’re uniquely Canadian ourselves. There’s a lifetime of history behind every one of our restaurants. From our first location in 1968 – opened at the height of the hippie era – to the country-wide franchise we know today. Now we’re the biggest Canadian-owned sub franchise in the country, and we’re only getting bigger.
Subway
The Seventeen-Year-Old Entrepreneur
The partners opened their first restaurant in Bridgeport, Connecticut, where they served fresh, affordable, made to order sandwiches. The popularity of the sandwiches and the brand continued to grow over the decades but one thing remained the same and that was their core values and principles:
a) Always provide exceptional service to your valued guests;
b) Provide the highest quality menu items at a price everyone can afford and enjoy; and
c) Keep operating costs low and ensure you have great systems in place and never stop improving.
These early principles continue to serve as the foundation for Subway restaurants around the world.
