Reading the figures

The 29 restaurants are a record drawn from Foursquare Open Places, not a count published by the brand — this country has not been calibrated yet — its recorded counts have not been confronted with the network sizes brands publish.

The reach indicators — coverage, index by region — are robust to that bias: they measure a distance and a population, which a location described twice does not move. Recorded 23 August 2026.

Frequently asked questions about Subway in Italy

Tout ce que vous devez savoir sur nos solutions.

How many restaurants does Subway have in Italy?

The record of 23 August 2026 identifies 29 Subway restaurants in Italy, across 10 regions.

What share of Italy does Subway reach?

8.5 % of the population lives within 5 kilometres of a Subway, and 16 % within 10 kilometres. Coverage counts each population cell once, however many locations reach it, which makes it insensitive to the double-counting that affects raw location totals.

Is Subway denser in Italy or in France?
