The sandwich shop operates on a franchise model - the sale includes the brand and business, while franchises will continue to operate independently.
Roark Capital includes Dunkin', Arby's, and Cheesecake Factory in its brand portfolio.
"This transaction reflects Subway's long-term growth potential, and the substantial value of our brand and our franchisees around the world," Subway's CEO, John Chidsey, said in a statement.
"Subway has a bright future with Roark, and we are committed to continuing to focus on a win-win-win approach for our franchisees, our guests and our employees."
Roark holds $37billion in assets.
SUBWAY CHANGES ITS WAY
Subway launches a new rewards program on September 9.
Company officials said the new program will make it easier for customers to accrue rewards points.
"Consumer input helped inform our refreshed loyalty program to create a best-in-class experience," Mike Kappitt, Chief Operating and Insights Officer at Subway said.
The three-tiered rewards program will give customers more benefits depending on the amount they spend in-store.
The highest rewards level - afforded to customers who spend over $400 at Subway in a year - offers exclusive benefits like free chips with a purchase on Fridays.
