What happened to Subway?

In the 1990s, Subway was a decent sandwich shop and a viable alternative to McDonalds or Burger King (which has also since declined).
When did it start going downhill?
Does anyone associate Subway with “fresh” tasting food (bread or toppings) anymore? They no longer do the V cut, the “sub club stamp promotion was shelved in lieu of cheaper subs, their stores no longer smell like fresh bread, and they no longer have the cool wallpaper with yellow booths.
How do they stay in business now with Jimmy Johns expanding every day?

Nobody wants a boiled meat sandwich.

When they built one every few hundred yards.

They quit doing that when they found out Jarred couldn’t.

Subway is trashy

It’s not a restaurant. It’s a business model.
And people figured that out and get better sandwiches.

There are so many better options.
Firehouse is the best.

It think you are mistaking Subway with shithole Quizno's

Low margins and $5 footlongs are forced upon the franchisee resulting in poorer service and dirtier shops to make up for the losses. At least that's what I understand. The franchisee has to honor those corporate bargains or face penalties.

I love Subway's Italian BMT on herb bread toasted with cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, bell peppers, pickled sweet peppers with mayo, honey mustard and vinaigrette.

I'd take subway over Jimmy John's any day.
I get the club and I like my subs toasted. Jimmy John's give me a cold sandwich I can make at home.

Their fresh baked bread smells like cardboard.

Subway is terrible and why are so many in gas stations now?
Jimmy John’s or Which Wich for me. Panera if I feel like mixing with the bougie.

Growing up in NJ we have decent sandwich shops on almost every corner. Every deli makes a great sandwich. Subway isn’t anything close to that. Inga’s by LSU back in the day was the closest thing I’d find to something like that but still not as good. As for chain sandwich shops the best I’ve had so far is WaWa.
The HS cafeteria where I grew up had a better sub than most places I’ve visited in other states outside of the northeast.

Jimmy Johns + delivery happened

Agree with decline. Subway is horrible now and generally if I eat there it's my only option. Subs from Publix grocery stores are the GOAT

Those meats are false.
