They went downhill when they stopped doing the “U” cut.

Yeah that pretty much ended for me as well.

Subway was “good” 20 years ago when they had little to no competition outside of local delis and they were getting in decent meat/cheese product.

With the rise of Jersey Mikes, Jimmy Johns, etc. they went to shite quick.

Is this the first time they’ve shed a bunch of
Franchises? Cause I just watched a Food network show about Subway and its miscalculation on growth- they overpopulated- and the show
Claimed they were shutting down stores everywhere. I’m curious if this is related or the quality is so bad they’re going out of business?

The food sucks

Yup. The posts referring to them being woke as the primary reason why they are floundering are definitely wrong. Chick-fil-A has a staunch right-wing, Christian platform yet they still continue to do well.

Don't worry, they'll never go under - Loves and Pilot Truck Stops alone will keep them in business.

Being woke has hurt them more because the food has been shite before. It is just another excuse not to eat at places like that.

You can be overpriced, or have crappy food, or be offensive, but not all three.

First woke ad and I was out. Stopped using them for the platters I bring to accounts. I now use Firehouse subs. If they get woke, I’ll leave them to. I only spend money with conservative patriots.

It’s so damn good expensive. I was shocked when a 6 inch combo was like 10$

It's kinda garbage but it's not expensive for sandwich chains. Combos the same size from Jimmy John's and Firehouse Subs are over $10.

Yeah Firehouse subs is based out here in JAX. There is one pretty much on every corner and they are much better than Subway.

About a month ago, John Oliver did a main story Subway and how shitty corporate is, especially to its on franchise owners. It was pretty damn funny

They had a pedophile as the face of the company, and then followed that up with Megan Rapinoe?

That's a really bad move, especially for a restaurant company that allowed their product offering to collapse in quality

I forgot about that. I wonder why the seismic shift to the straight flat cut?
