Fast food chain Subway will open a new unit in Bucharest, within the UpGround Business Center in Pipera, in the Northern area of Bucharest. This would be its third unit in Bucharest, after the first one opened in Victoriei square and a new one announced for Sun Plaza shopping center.

Subway chose to open its unit in the UpGround office building, where companies such as Intel, Banca Romaneasca and GFK have their headquarters.
