Rush for jobs in fast food outlet that doesn’t exist
by cambridge-news.co.uk - 30/07/2010
"Fast food giant Subway has been inundated with job applications from people who want to work at a store it says it has no intention of opening.
"
Rumours that the company is to open a store in Ely’s High Street have got so out of control that people are continually contacting the company and asking for jobs when the store opens.
But bosses insist there are no plans to open a restaurant in the city and talk of one is just a rumour.
A spokeswoman says “dozens” of job applications had been submitted over the past few months and that it was “worrying”.
Earlier this year, the News told how rumours were spreading around the city that a Subway outlet was being opened in the High Street.
The company said at the time that there were no plans to do so but the rumours continued – and when building work on the former Currys store started, the stories persisted.
Builders are currently splitting the premises in two and no formal planning applications have yet been submitted but traders in the city are adamant Subway is moving into one side of the shop.
A member of staff from Day Breaks café on Fore Hill said: “We’ve heard Subway is going there for months – everyone’s been talking about it.
“If they are, the company should just be frank with people and tell us what they’re planning but if it is just rumours then obviously they need to stop.”
A trader in Market Street, who did not want to be named, added: “The Subway rumours have been flying around for months now. There must be some element of truth in it, surely?”
But the company insists it is not moving into Ely.
A spokeswoman for the firm said: “This is getting quite worrying now. These are simply rumours – we have no plans to move to Ely at all.
“We have received dozens of job applications as a result of these rumours and they really do need to stop as there is no element of truth in them whatsoever.”
The letting agents in charge of the former Currys store in High Street also confirmed that despite building work going on, no new tenants have come forward.
