Subway
First opened in 1965, Bridgeport, CT. 53 years of age.
Pete’s Super Submarines was the original name for the now worldwide Subway chain. It was named after Dr. Peter Buck, who was a physicist and the man who loaned Fred DeLuca 1,000 bucks to start the restaurant. He opened the place in the hopes of being able to pay his way through college, little did he know the place would blow up and become a massive success. The name was changed to Subway a year later.
