Two-storey Subway to open at Plymouth’s Derriford Hospital
FAST food giant Subway is opening a new Plymouth branch – at Derriford Hospital. The sandwich shop chain has plans to move into a unit in the hospital’s new multi-storey car park, The Herald can reveal.
It plans to open the two-storey branch before Christmas and said it would create 15 jobs. Documents submitted to Plymouth City Council as part of an application to install shop frontage and branded signs show there would be at least 44 seats for customers.
If it gets the go-ahead, Subway would not be the only well-known outlet at Derriford selling food. Warrens Bakery runs a 24-hour takeaway cafe in the main hospital building – thought to be Plymouth’s only round-the-clock pasty shop. The Subway application has been submitted by Andrew Taylor of Elburton-based S&K Futures. Planning documents show how the sandwich shop would be situated in Unit F, on the ground floor of the new 600-space multi-storey car park. The new car park opened earlier this year and includes several commercial units. Plymouth Hospitals NHS Trust, which runs Derriford, said Wharfside Regeneration (Devon) Ltd, which built the car park and leases it back to the hospital, was responsible for letting the commercial units.
Nobody from Wharfside was available for comment and The Herald was unable to contact S&K Futures. But Subway development agent Kevin Graham said: ‘We are hoping to open this store before Christmas. “It will be a beautiful two-level location within the retail section of the new Derriford multi-story car park and is expected to create 15 jobs.” In August, Subway opened up its first 24-hour Plymouth branch, in North Hill. That created around 18 new jobs. At the same time, a further 15 jobs were created when the popular chain moved into a unit in Callington Road in Saltash.
