Business Summary

Ayr is located 88 km south of Townsville on the Bruce Highway and 12km away from the (smaller) town of Home Hill. Ayr has a population of approximately 8,000.

It is within the Burdekin Shire, which produces the most sugar cane per square kilometre in Australia utilizing underground water supplies and water from the Burdekin Dam to irrigate crops when rains fall.

The Subway sandwich restaurant chain was founded in the USA, in 1965. The company has since grown into a multi-billion dollar business, with more than 36,000 outlets in 100 countries. Wherever the restaurants are located, the basic menu stays almost the same.

The first restaurant opened in Australia during 1988. Australia is the group's largest market outside North America, with more locations than any other chain.

There are presently approximately 1300 restaurants in Australia. Many new franchises are sold to existing franchisees which is a positive indication of the success of the franchise model.


The Ayr Subway outlet is prominently located on the major highway, with plenty of "grab and go" parking. Excellent for passing travellers and tradies.
