re: Stopped at subway last night .. yes I’m whining

Does no one use the App or deals on their phone?

I think Subway has a buy 1 footlong get a secondone half price or some times it is buy two get the thrid for free.

Sorry, but I am a fatty and a sucker for these deals.

It is the same with McDonalds and Popeyes. Some times I feel like I am robbing the place when I buy enough for Lunch and Dinner for sometimes about 10 dollars. Popeyes though has increased some of their promo pricing their two can dine for 9.99 increased to 10.99, and now is 11.99.

Are $5 foot longs no longer a thing?

For like 8 years

They had a “simple six” promotion but dunno how long that was.

I’ve always wondered how subway manages to stay in business even before all this price hiking. Idk anyone who eats there. You can make a ten times better sandwich at home.

Here is a recent article about Subway.

In responses to the original post in 2006, people identifying themselves as Subway franchisees or Subway employees familiar with franchise operations provided various profit estimates.

Some said franchisees should expect to see 20% profit margins. Tightly managed shops can push 25% cash flow, and ones with weaker operations might clear only 15% a year.

That means a location on the high end of the sales chart might throw off $150,000 a year or more. A struggling Subway in a low sales location might clear as little as $40,000.
