Subway is set to become the first-ever brand to bake up King’s Hawaiian bread right in its stores, thanks to a new partnership between the two companies. As a result, Subway customers will soon have an opportunity to enjoy a sandwich made with a sweet King’s Hawaiian bun fresh from the oven.
As part of the partnership between Subway and King’s Hawaiian, fans can now enjoy their favorite Subway sandwich 'Aloha style.' Each Aloha style sandwich will be served on a freshly-baked, eight-inch King’s Hawaiian bun, along with extra meat and double the amount of cheese used on a typical six-inch sub.
Starting June 27th, Subway will begin baking up King’s Hawaiian bread in the custom eight-inch size in more than 300 Subway locations throughout Illinois, Nevada, and Virginia.
