Peter Buck (1930–2021), Subway restaurant co-founder
Peter Buck was the co-founder of the Subway chain of sandwich shops.Buck hadn’t planned to be a restaurateur – he was a nuclear physicist who designed nuclear reactors. But when a family friend, Fred DeLuca (1947–2015), asked Buck for advice on how he should pay for college, he suggested the young man open a sandwich shop.
