A Ham Lake Subway franchisee has modeled his new store on environmentally friendly prototypes the chain has built in a few spot s across the nation. It’s about saving money as much as saving the planet.
Of all the Subway restaurants in Minnesota - and there were 430 of them as of March 1 - Bill and Kim Ward’s Subway in Ham Lake is among the greenest.

A hood enclosure over the bread oven forces hot air outside, reducing the need for air conditioning.
An on-demand natural-gas water heater will reduce energy costs to an estimated $168 per year.
