More than 400 Subway restaurant franchise owners are protesting a $5 footlong sandwich deal scheduled to start in January and last for two months.
The group is concerned with financial losses the deal will bring their way. In a letter dated Dec. 6 the petitioners sent to Subway, the group cited five years of deals that have "decimated" their profits, according to The New York Post.

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.
Also, their 9-grain wheat bread (which I used to buy for the tuna subs) is high in fat and even worse than the regular bread.
People will pay a premium for a good meal. When you advertise something cheap people will continue to expect that or else they'll walk. I've gone to Firehouse Subs or Jimmy John's and never looked back. Way superior than Subway.
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.

And you can back up your claim?????
Civil War!
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.
...and don’t tell me but there’s probably a Starbucks inside each of the Subways.
Yes ask CAIR
Blimpies are the worst.
The pedophile spokesman and now this
In my town there is a Subway in the local Wal-Mart, across
the very same parking lot is a stand alone Subway.
*************
I know of a location like that. The one in the Walmart was
some other eatery which closed and Subway came in.
And they don't give you much of it.
Dude, read your post! Subway’s Cold Cut Combo!
