They began as sandwich artists, and now they own and operate three Subway locations of their own.
The most recent of these locations, which is in Fort ºÚÂí´ÅÁ¦, held its official grand opening last Friday (Dec. 18) although it had been open for a weeks prior to that.
The locations are run by Sarb Johal, and her brother-in-law Sati Johal.
Sarb started with Subway back in 1998 while Sati began two years later.
In 2008, they took over their first location, in White Rock/South Surrey and then in 2014, they opened a Subway location in Vancouver.
Lillian Tse, a business development manager for Subway, said the company had been looking for a Fort ºÚÂí´ÅÁ¦ location for about a year and a half when they were approached by a realtor nine months ago.
"We thought Subway would be a good fit in the area," she said.
