About DRUXY'S

DRUXY'S is growing and has opportunities for you to become part of the DRUXY'S Family. We aim to provide a very special level of service for each of our customers. We see simply satisfying customer needs as a service failure. Much more than need satisfaction is required, and as such, we work to develop personal relationships with our customers. By developing these relationships we are able to generate average customer frequency of 4.5 times per week. This compares to an industry average of 4.5 times per year. More importantly, over half of our business comes from regular customers who frequent DRUXY'S an average of 4 times per day. This loyalty is the direct result of the exceptional personal service that we offer our customers each and every time they visit our restaurant.DRUXY'S vision for the future sees us growing by 6 - 12 locations per year over the next 5 years. DRUXY'S is currently undertaking an expansion program that will target key health care centres throughout the Province of Ontario. We are confident that our commitment to a fresh, healthy menu perfectly positions DRUXY'S to take advantage of the growing concern for health conscious eating. This concern is of paramount importance in a hospital setting. We find it interesting that the major fast food companies have followed in our footsteps by incorporating fresh salads and sandwiches into their menus. Since 1976, our experience has given us a foothold in the market, as we are the benchmark against which the competition is compared. Our extensive and ever expanding and evolving menu of 23 sandwiches, 30 salads and 32 soups and chili makes us a difficult and moving target. As a result, DRUXY'S is a welcome addition to any retail food service venue.

About The Submarine Station

As a company grows there are three main methods of growth to choose from: sole proprietorship, joint venture, or franchising. The franchise system is an exciting model because of the common shared interest in the founding company (the Franchisor) and the small business owner (the Franchisee) that both want the system to work. The problem with most franchising models is that a Franchisee is under such stringent restrictions from the Franchisor. Understandably, the Franchisor has a huge interest in protecting the brand. This interest in protecting the brand has inherent drawbacks that now become the Franchisee's issues. A few of these drawbacks are: real estate long-term leasing or purchasing, expensive proprietary equipment, forced product price points, etc. Who pays for this in the end? Well, the Franchisee does. Who looks out for the Franchisee? The Submarine Station will!
