Sadly, that is not realistic. The cost of food is almost 50% higher than it was back in the $5 footlong times. The food cost of making even the cheapest footlongs (ham/spicy italian/cold cut, is $2.25 +, and at best that is 45% food cost. You throw in turkey, steak, or chicken, you are looking at an FC of over 50%. Needless to say, this would bankrupt every store in a matter of weeks. Even food costs in excess of 35% are not tenable long term.
Yeah I go to Jersey Mikes now TASTES WAY BETTER. I tried to go to Subway because it was closer, and NO. I spent the same amount. Plus I get points for my purchases at JM.
Haven’t eaten Subway in quite a while - I remember feeling like Subway’s bread is 1-2 star while Quizno’s and Jersey Mike’s are far superior. When their footlongs cost $5-$7 they were ok in a pinch, but anything higher just felt too high.
Bring back $5 footlong. Subway can't compete on quality. Must compete on cost.

Yep. got food poisoning a couple times.
Private equity just bought your brand?! This'll be fun to watch! 😂
that always results in a bankruptcy and the end of the company
I Love Culver’s too!
Remember, their tuna, was not tuna
I have TWO subways on my college campus....I honestly would rather go to jersey mikes haha
Jersey Mike's is a hundred times better.
You aren't wrong
Subs are still a foot long but the got smaller in width, I remember in the 90s the subs here like 4 too 5 inches wide now there like 2 inches wide
This is my first time watching a video of yours, this was a really good video. You deserve more views.
Thank you! I really appreciate it 🙂

Subway is still too expensive and not worth what you're paying for.
Ginsberg, eh? Shocking.
I will never eat there again.
It is still bad and seems ro keep getting worse. Everytime a leveraged buyout occurs, they usually go bankrupt.
