In my town there is a Subway in the local Wal-Mart, across the very same parking lot is a stand alone Subway. There are two other Subways on the other side of town. Total population is around 30,000.
I’ll buy a $5 sub but, not one today for $8.
That’s not what hurts business. Selling crap sandwiches is what hurts business. Sell the best sandwiches you can make and people will be lined up out the door, and you don’t need a franchise for that.
Firehouse just opened up near us over the summer great place hardly ever go to subway never was fond of there stuff hard to go to them when we have Cortinas a mile or so away
I have never gotten a really good sub at Subway.
When we lived in Tulsa in the early 70s there was a local store called “Little Lannies”. Maybe once a month my wife and I would get a roast beef sub.
They were great but probably not good for you. Lots of grease or something similar.
Every decent sized town has at least one good Jewish and one good Italian deli. There is never any need to go to a Subway, Jersey Mikes, Cousins, etc.
If you need to save money then really how much effort does it take to make yourself a decent sandwich in the morning to take with you to lunch?
Hint: Keep all the veggies separate in a plastic bag so they don't make the sandwich mushy.
Blimpie’s are the worst.
The pedophile spokesman and now this
No reason to go to Subway. EVERY town has a local sandwich shop that is far superior.
Subway was NEVER a great sub, it was just the first to grow a franchise large scale nationally
Hard to consider going to a Subway anymore, Winco’s remade subs are less money, more bread and nearly 4 times the meat and double the cheese.
Of course, in a town of less than 10,000, there’s two franchises.
Captain Nemo’s steak subs, best sandwich ever, Galligaskins italian sub terrific but what ever happened to them?
Obscure DFW sandwich shop reference. Maybe someone needs to start a favorite sub shop thread. Now I’m hungry. Oh yea, Subway does actually suck.
Yeah, I think Subway is overrated.
The past week I had a breaded chicken Parmesan hoagie with tomato sauce and a pulled pork sandwich both from Wawa. MUCH BETTER than the Subway sandwiches. Somehow all Subway sandwiches seem to have the same Subway undertaste to them.
My wife ordered a couple of subs for us while I went into the john. I come out and the manager thinks I just slipped in to take advantage of her facilities without buying anything.
The subs were mediocre, too. I don’t think we’ll go back.
Subway - endorsed by Michelle Obama.
Now I know why corporate Subway didn’t get back with me after I was charged full price on a sub when it should have been the $4.99 everyday price, awhile back. Even though corporate and the franchisees are fighting, that’s still terrible customer service on their part. I refuse to go back to Subway.

The best I can say for Subway is they are not good but you can eat them. They are not so bad that you have to throw it away.
You also will usually not have to be carried out by the medics.
That is not saying much as it is pretty easy to make a nice sandwich out of Italian, Cuban, French bread etc. along with various meats and sauces and add ons.
It is not hard at all but Subway can/t consistently make them good.
