Subway continues its focus on non-traditional stores with the opening of a restaurant at the Michael-Ann Russell Jewish Community Center in North Miami Beach. But the location is not the only non-traditional element. The store is the first kosher Subway in the Southeastern United States and one of only nine in the entire country, according to a story in The Miami Herald.
From The Miami Herald:
The first kosher Subway opened in 2006 at the Cleveland Jewish Community Center and the concept has slowly been spreading to major metropolitan markets like New York, Los Angeles and Baltimore. Four are in Jewish community centers, while the rest are in traditional retail locations."We're finding areas that are underserved and trying to fill those needs,'' said Subway spokesman Les Winograd.The only other national fast-food player with kosher stores in the United States is Dunkin' Donuts, which has more than 30 kosher locations, including one on 41st Street in Miami Beach.
