Store Manager

As a Store Manager at Subway, you are the driving force behind our store's success. You will lead a high-performing team and oversee daily operations to deliver an exceptional guest experience while hitting key performance indicators (KPIs) such as sales growth, productivity (SPLH), food cost, Quarterly REV scores, cash control, inventory accuracy, and more. This role is pivotal in ensuring that our store remains profitable, operationally sound, and community engaged.

We are currently hiring a Store Manager for an upcoming Subway® location at: 1142 Hill Rd Pickerington, OH.

The selected candidate will be hired immediately and begin onboarding, training, and operational integration at one of our nearby high-performing locations: 9313 Columbia Rd, Pataskala, OH (Etna) or 35 W Broad St, Pataskala, OH. This training period is designed to fully prepare you to lead the new location from day one — including team development, operational systems, inventory management, and KPI execution. Upon completion of training and once the new restaurant opens, you will transition into the Store Manager role at the Pickerington location, where you will be responsible for building your team and driving store performance from launch onward. This is a unique opportunity to play a key role in opening and establishing a new store within our organization.
