Find a Subway Store: Locator, Drive-Thru & Delivery
With around 20,000 US restaurants, there is almost certainly a Subway close to you — the question is which one is open, which has a drive-thru, and which will actually deliver. Here is how to answer all three in about a minute.
Using the official Subway store locator
The authoritative source is Subway's own Find a Store tool. It reads directly from the franchise system, which makes it more current than third-party map listings, and it exposes details those listings simply do not carry.
- Open the Subway store locator.
- Allow browser location access for the fastest result, or type a ZIP code, city, or full street address into the search field.
- Read the results list, sorted by distance. Each entry shows the address, distance, phone number, today's opening hours and service badges.
- Open a listing for the full weekly hours and directions.
- Start an order from the listing, or call to check anything time-sensitive.
Subway runs country-specific versions of the same tool — /en-us/locator for the United States, and equivalents such as /en-AG/FindAStore for other markets. If your search results look wrong, check you are on the US site.
One habit that removes most wasted trips
Sort by distance, then call the top result. Thirty seconds on the phone confirms the store is open, staffed and has what you want in stock. This matters most after 8:00 p.m., on Sundays, and around holidays — see the Subway hours guide.
Service filters worth using
Not every Subway offers every service, and the differences are bigger than people expect. The filters that change your decision:
- Drive-thru — genuinely uncommon. Filter for it rather than hoping.
- Curbside pickup — order in the app, park in the marked bay, food comes out. Usually the fastest lunchtime option.
- In-store pickup — near universal, and skips the counter queue entirely.
- Delivery — available directly from many stores as well as through third-party platforms.
- Catering — participating stores only, and worth filtering for before you plan an event. See the catering guide.
- Breakfast — also participation-based; the breakfast guide covers what to expect.
- Open now / 24 hours — the filter to use late at night, when most stores have already closed.
The app is faster than the website
If you go to Subway more than occasionally, the app pays for the download. Save your usual restaurant as a favourite and it becomes the default for every order, offer and reorder. Three practical advantages over the website:
- It shows whether the store is currently accepting orders, which is a better real-time signal than published hours.
- Store-specific deals attach to your saved location — without one you see a shorter offer list. Details in the deals guide.
- Reordering a saved build takes two taps, with no re-explaining a twelve-topping sub.
Getting Subway delivered
Delivery is available from most US locations. Ordering directly through subway.com or the app usually gives you menu prices closest to in-store, plus access to Subway's own offers and rewards. Third-party platforms — DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub — are convenient and often faster to find, but they typically apply a menu markup on top of service and delivery fees, and Subway coupons generally do not work there.
For a single sandwich, the total difference between the two routes can be several dollars. For a family order it can be $10 or more.
Common pitfalls
- Trusting map-app hours. Franchise hour changes take weeks to propagate to Google and Apple. The locator listing is more current.
- Assuming a listed store still exists. Closures linger on maps. Call first.
- Forgetting non-traditional locations close early. Walmart, mall, hospital and campus stores follow the host building.
- Driving to the nearest pin instead of the nearest open pin. Use the "Open now" filter after 8:00 p.m.
Frequently asked questions
What is the official Subway store locator?
It is the Find a Store tool on subway.com, available at subway.com/en-us/locator. Enter a ZIP code, city or address — or allow location access — and it returns nearby restaurants with addresses, hours, phone numbers and available services.
Which Subway locations have a drive-thru?
Only a minority of US stores do. The locator lets you filter by service, which is the only reliable way to check before you set off.
How many Subway restaurants are there in the US?
Roughly 20,000, spread across all 50 states — more US locations than most other quick-service chains, which is why there is usually one within a few minutes of wherever you are.
The locator shows a store that has closed. What do I do?
Franchise closures can take time to drop off the map. Call the listed number first; if it is dead, choose the next nearest result and, if you like, report the closure through the contact form on subway.com.
