Reading the figures

The 88 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 province — 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 Spain

Tout ce que vous devez savoir sur nos solutions.

How many restaurants does Subway have in Spain?

The record of 23 August 2026 identifies 88 Subway restaurants in Spain, across 21 provinces. This is a record, not an official count: this country has not been calibrated yet — its recorded counts have not been confronted with the network sizes brands publish. The figure serves to compare networks rather than to count stores.

What share of Spain does Subway reach?

23.2 % of the population lives within 5 kilometres of a Subway, and 35.7 % 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 Spain or in France?

Per 100,000 inhabitants, Subway has 0.19 restaurants in Spain against 0.75 in France — a density 75 % lower. Both records come from the same source and the same method, which is the condition for the gap to mean anything.
