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.
...and don’t tell me but there’s probably a Starbucks inside each of the Subways.

I know of a location like that. The one in the Walmart was
some other eatery which closed and Subway came in.
I don’t stop at local subways but on the road only fast food place I will eat.
