From Forbes:
"Family friend Peter Buck (see) fronted DeLuca $1,000 to open sandwich shop to help pay for college. Shop floundered, but DeLuca opened second outlet to create aura of success. Since then the partners have opened 18,864 Subway shops in the U.S., giving Subway more domestic storefronts than McDonald's."
