MILFORD, Connecticut (AP) – Sandwich chain Subway said Thursday it will be sold to the private equity firm Roark Capital.
Terms of the deal weren’t disclosed. Earlier this week, The Wall Street Journal reported that Roark was offering around $9.6 billion for Subway, which is privately owned.

Does yours have a bell to ring as you leave for telling them GOOD JOB!?...........
I stopped going there when they chose angry America hating purple haired Megan Rapinoe as their brand rep.
I've never noticed. And never understood the idiots who ring those bells.
Sounds like the pre-made sub sandwich series didn’t work out.
If Arbys comes out with a antiAmerican, blue haired spokesman or a pedofile spokesman, I am completely done.
Get it right Arbys.
“I eat Publix subs every now and then, and they are pretty good”
Rarely have I walked by the deli section at a Publix and not seen a line waiting for their subs......on nfl game day it’s literally a zoo. 😏
No one gets it. Another company swallowed up by a dei, social justice, global corporation. The consolidation of companies into a couple of equity groups continues.
Buy from small and local
Our used to include a small packet of mustard or mayo depending on the sandwich.
They apparently don’t do that any more. Must be a cost cutting move.............
My recollection is that like most chains Subway started out with some fresh and tasty products—and then devolved to selling cardboard as food, after the bean counters had thoroughly gone over it.
Good point.
Our Subways are franchises.....................
Subway’s poor quality product and terrible marketing decisions have sunk them. That $10B will likely not see a return anytime soon.
If they start pulling franchises because of poor quality and service they will turn them around!................
Have Subway go self-serve. I can make ma own dang sammich.
Ralphs’s Submarine Sandwiches on Harbor Blvd in Santa Ana, CA is the only place I’ll buy sub sandwiches. Unfortunately, I would need a time machine.
IF those conditions are existing during open hours-—it is clearly the fault of THE MANAGER.
IF I was in a place that blasted that crap ‘noise’ I would make a LOUD & SERIOUS COMPLAINT.
Subway is OK if you’re careful. There are things there that I would never get. I basically stick to one sandwich - their Spicy Italian (I think it has another, stupider, woker name now) on herb and cheese bread. The bread is usually fresh enough, the meats (pepperoni and salami) are good, and I can customize the toppings (easy on the lettuce, heavy on the onion). I get it not toasted, take it home and jazz it up with extra cheese and other stuff depending, then I bake it myself. Makes a cheap, decent, quick meal.
I’m sure the new owners will improve it out of business quickly.
I like their roast beef. 😋
