Subway Development Corporation's CEO, Larry Feldman to be Keynote Speaker at Wednesday's Boca Raton Executive Club Meeting

Last month’s meeting with Miami Dolphin’s CEO, Mike Dee had a great turn out with over 70 attendees! We are looking forward to our upcoming October 3rd meeting with serial entrepreneur, attorney, lecturer and philanthropist, Mr. Lawrence Feldman.

When you want to build a successful franchise operation, put one of the country’s leading success stories at the helm – Lawrence Feldman. Mr. Feldman brings with him over three decades of distinguished years of franchise experience as Chief Executive Officer of Subway Development Corporation based in McLean, Virginia and as CEO of Subway of South Florida. In addition, Mr. Feldman was co-creator of Hair Color Xperts, a franchise established to develop specialized cut and color salons throughout the country. Previously, Mr. Feldman served as the CEO of Strategic Franchise Solutions, a sought after specialized consulting firm, designed to assist entrepreneurs in bringing their business dreams to the marketplace.

A lawyer by training, his fast-track government career included Legislative Counsel to Congressman Stewart McKinney of Connecticut, Minority Counsel for the U.S. House of Representatives, Banking Committee’s Subcommittee on Economic Stabilization and Assistant General Counsel to the Full Banking and Currency Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives, in Washington, DC. He then followed with a bold entrepreneurial move by opening his first Subway location in the Capital Hill area, as an absentee investment. He then added franchise development contracts for Washington, Virginia, Maryland and Delaware. It all culminated for Mr. Feldman in the creation of Subway Development Corporation of Washington, listed today as one of the country’s leading franchise operations, by Entrepreneur Magazine. This year Mr. Feldman will be celebrating over 35 years in the Subway franchise business as well as approaching the opening of his 1200th franchise restaurant in his Northern development territory with an additional 280 restaurants in South Florida.
