5. Subway     • Former name:  Pete's Super Submarines     • Year changed:  1968 The fast-food sandwich chain now known as Subway was founded in 1965 -- only back then it went by the name Pete's Super Submarines, or, Pete's Submarines, as it read in ads and on billboards. The shop was initially named after the man the restaurant's founder, Fred DeLuca, had borrowed money from to get the operation off the ground. The relatively   cumbersome name was short lived, however, as it was often misheard as "pizza submarine." The chain changed its name to the now familiar Subway in 1968.
