Minneapolis, MN, August 19, 2008— SUBWAY® restaurant chain, the world’s
largest submarine sandwich franchise, has named C.H. Robinson Worldwide (“C.H. Robinson”), its “Supply Chain Partner of the Year”.

Selected out of 115 supply chain providers in North America, C.H. Robinson was recognized for their outstanding support in supply chain management. Jan Risi, the president of SUBWAY®’s Independent Purchasing Cooperative, said, “In 2004, SUBWAY® franchise and C.H. Robinson formed a strategic alliance that has produced benefits far greater than initially anticipated. C.H. Robinson assisted us with the development and implementation of our two-phase managed freight solution, our transportation center, and our portfolio freight bidding. This has resulted in the identification and realization of millions of dollars in documented savings and cost avoidance for SUBWAY® franchisees.”

C.H. Robinson’s Transportation Management Center (“TMC”™), a division of C.H. Robinson that provides a transparent and neutral approach to transportation management, helps SUBWAY® franchise to better manage their freight costs through greater visibility into SUBWAY®’s franchise supply chain. TMC™’s systems gives SUBWAY® franchises visibility by identifying the origin, size of order, and rates, which helps them to identify supply chain inefficiencies.

Sean Nelsen, C.H. Robinson’s SUBWAY® franchise Account Manager, said, “We are honored to receive this award. Our technology helped SUBWAY® restaurant chain capture the order level information they needed to plan, optimize, and control their shipments. The close cooperation between our two organizations, our expert people, our technology and commitment to providing industry best practices has proved extremely beneficial. The relationship is a great example of how working together strategically reduces costs, creates efficiencies, and increase savings in the supply chain.”

Risi continued, “C.H. Robinson continues to demonstrate their commitment to service, flexibility and strategic solutions that benefit SUBWAY® restaurants. We look forward to our continued collaboration.”
