Other highlights of the past few months included Subway director of development Don Fertman's appearance on the CBS TV program Undercover Boss. Participation in the show allowed him to get a glimpse of a part of the business he rarely sees during his daily routine at Subway headquarters. Not only was he able to see firsthand what was happening on the front lines in the stores while he worked undercover at several Subway restaurants, he was also able to get to know a few of the dedicated and hard-working individuals who make the Milford, Conn.-based Subway restaurant chain what it is.
