Subway Devonshire Street: Famous fast food chain set to return to Sheffield city centre
A famous takeaway chain is set to return to a prominent Sheffield site, possibly as soon as this month.
Subway is set to reopen in the shop which the chain operated until lockdown, on Devonshire Street.
Workmen are currently carrying out refurbishments to the building, which it is understood has not been open for several years, although the sign has still remained above the door.
Workers in the building today confirmed to The Star that plans were proceeding to reopen the site as a Subway again, with the date of its reopening hoped to be March 28, subject to the work being completed.
One told The Star there had been a lot of interest in what they were doing, adding: “It’s a busy street and a lot of students have been asking us when we will be opening.
“We’re carrying out a full refurbishment to the building first, and that is including re-plastering the walls. It is a full refit.”
They could be seen carrying out work today, although there is currently no furniture in the building.
Devonshire Street, which joins with Division Street a few yards from the shop, is home to many restaurants and cafes, as well as pubs and bars, with high profile locations there including the Frog and Parrot pub, and The Forum, which contains food and drink outlets and bars.
It is also close to Devonshire Green.
Prior to lockdown, the Subway on Devonshire Street had been trading for over 10 years.
Subway is an American multinational fast food restaurant franchise that specializes in what they described as ‘submarine’ sandwiches and wraps.
It already operates sites at several locations across the city including Crystal Peaks and Meadowhall and has over 30,000 sites across the world
