SUBWAY FRANCHISEE CELEBRATES 35 YEARS IN ALASKA

SUBWAY FRANCHISEE CELEBRATES 35 YEARS IN ALASKA

Contributed by Dee Buchanon

Steve Adams, a Subway franchise, and his company Subway of Alaska, Inc. are celebrating 35 years in business after opening the first Subway in Alaska on April 15, 1988, in an Anchorage strip mall at the corner of Benson and the Seward Highway. Today, the remodeled restaurant operates in its new location at the corner of the New Seward Highway and Benson Boulevard. 

Steve Adams wanted to bring the Subway brand to Alaska in 1987, and in June of that year, he invited his mother, Bobbie Scribner, to be his partner. After hours of discussion and several trips to a Subway in Little Rock, Arkansas, to try the menu, a partnership was formed. Thirty-five years later, their success continues.

Steve Adams is also a Subway Business Developer, working with local franchisees to open over 50 restaurants in Alaska. These franchisees support the communities in which they operate through a Fundraising Card program to help fund local non-profit organizations.

Steve Adams, President of Subway of Alaska, Inc., and Chris Wilson, Vice President of Subway of Alaska, Inc., are grateful for their staff and guests’ years of loyalty. The company is a strong contributor to the community, and is committed to remaining an anchor donor business and supporting non-profit organizations throughout Alaska.
