What are the top 5 sandwich chains in UK?

[sagebush]

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this question but here goes

Can someone please tell me what the top five sandwich chains in the UK are (2009 /2010). I know the Subway franchise is considered to be at the number one spot, but what about the others?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

I would guess Pret-a-manger would be in there somewhere with a £200m turnover.

Also M&S, O'Briens, Benjy's, Eat?

How could I forget Greggs with a queue right out of the door and down the street every lunchtime!?

Morrisons, which sell over 20 million a year, and won the sandwich multiple retailer of year is 2008, check who won 2009, and this year, that should help with your research.

Some info here also.

What about the service and petrol station chains? They can sell more sarnies than any branch of marks etc

And do MacDonalds fit into this? They call all their burgers 'sandwiches' :|

Best answer I could find from the British Sandwich Association:

"Britain's biggest sandwich retailer in the UK is now the American franchise chain Subway which shot ahead of Tesco, Greggs and Marks & Spencers to take the lead in 2006."
