Subway has relocated to a newly-constructed building at 146 South Broadway.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nBy Christine Graf \nThe Subway restaurant formerly located at 170 South Broadway in Saratoga Springs has relocated to a newly-constructed building at 146 South Broadway. \nThe property and building are owned by local Subway franchise owner Russ Faden. He leased the previous location for 10 years. \nIn addition to Subway, the new building has two upstairs apartments. \nFaden operates 17 Subway locations between Northway exits 9 and 20. He and his wife, Carrie, purchased their first Subway in downtown Saratoga in 2007. At the time, he was a full-time police officer in the Saratoga Springs Police Department. \n\u201cThis Subway that came up for sale was literally about 100 feet from the police station. I was working midnights at the time, and I would work and then go over and run the shop during the day,\u201d he said. \u201cThat\u2019s how we started with our first one, and that\u2019s kind of where we learned the ropes.\u201d \nIn the years that followed, they opened numerous locations. Approximately four years ago, Faden made the decision to leave the police department after 12 years of service. \n\u201cWe had 14 or 15 stores by then, and it got to the point where I had to make a decision about what I wanted to do. It was too much to do both,\u201d he said. \u201cIt came down to the best thing for myself, my family, and our future. It wasn\u2019t an easy decision. It took years and years and years to get to that point\u2014from a guaranteed paycheck every week to uncertainty. Especially with three young kids.\u201d \nAlthough he misses the camaraderie of working with his fellow police officers, he is happy with his decision. \n\u201cI wanted something where there was unlimited opportunity. The harder you work the more you get. I have always been intrigued by business and real estate and wanted something where there\u2019s no limits,\u201d said Faden. \nHe is interested in building plazas that will house both Subways as well as other businesses. Faden currently owns the property at three of his locations. That number will increase to four after his Glen Falls store moves to a new location later this year. \n\u201cWe are relocating and updating as many Subways as we can to better locations and locations that we own,\u201d said Faden. \u201cWe have some others in the pipeline for next year. Realistically, it will be about five years before we can convert and potentially change all of the stores.\u201d \nAll of his new locations will feature the \u201cFresh Forward\u201d updated d\u00e9cor that was designed at Subway\u2019s corporate offices. According to Subway, stores that have updated to this new d\u00e9cor have experienced a double digit increase in both sales and traffic. \nThe South Broadway store \u201chas a whole different look,\u201d said Faden. \u201cIt more modern. It\u2019s bright. I love it, and it has a great feel. If you walked in, you probably wouldn\u2019t know it\u2019s a Subway.\u201d \nFaden employs approximately 100 full- and part-time employees at his restaurants. \n\u201cBusiness is good. Subway has been around a long time and has a great reputation\u201d Faden said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
