It’s gonna take a LOT to turn around that sandwich place , same with Dominoes

 

[Chili Palmer]

Maybe dropping the price of a footlong and get a pro—America spokesperson, not some pink haired “death to America” lesbian. Add bacon at no extra charge.
Make it America’s sandwich shop.

I think the $5 footschlong is what got them into trouble in the first place.

And they pulled their ads with that pink haired soccer dude.

I dunno, I wandered in there a few weeks ago on the road and split a $9 foot long Italian with my daughter. It wasn’t bad.

As far as Dominos.. just fed my kid and 9 people for his birthday for under $50 bucks. You can’t beat that, and it was not bad.

 

[TimeBandit]

I'll take any local Italian deli over Subway corporate fodder.

The bread sucks.

I read elsewhere the same owner owns Dunkin.

The only Dominos pizza that works for me is the pan pizza - the regular crust is terrible and gritty. But the bacon jalapeño cheesy bread is awesome with cold beer(s).

They could take a lesson from Jersey Mikes !

Subway is last on my list.

1. Any Italian deli. (Ie Saverinos in Redlands)
2. Jersey Mikes )only higher than #3 because they offer hot subs as well.
3. Jimmy Johns
4. Quiznos
5. Lick roadkill
6. Subway

The crust is not may favorite, but we find it decent. We like the philly cheesesteak pizza.

That cheesy bread is great with beer! They have some new bacon cheddar tots, my Dad threw in the order.. they were not good too.

 

[BabyRay]

Subways are franchised, of course. Our accountant’s husband operates a few, and I think they do a pretty good job.

 

[LargeOrangeFont]

Yes. But FnA you wanna talk about an expensive sandwich.

Jersey Mike's is awesome when you catch the Roast Beef out of the oven... Roast Beef, pepperoni, bacon and chipotle mayo.

i wouldnt even say subway is "food" its more like "filler." nothing in there looks appetizing or has ANY flavor. the bread smells good when they bake it, thats about it. not to mention last time i went there was like $20 for lunch. I added bacon to a footlong and that was $5 in itself... ripoff.

They are all mostly that way now. Prices have gone up for the other players as well: Jersey Mikes, Jimmy Johns etc.

yep. New owner also owns Cinnabon, Sonic JimmyJohns, and Schlotzskys. and a bunch of others

 

[grumpy88]

Hiring billionaire athletes as spokes people could not of been cheap . I like subway for the price but stopped when they employed the soccer cunt .

 

[Heylam]

I’d almost take a hot dog off the roller at a 7/11 then eat a sandwich from Subway.

 

[RVR SWPR]

Subway,Jimmy Johns,Arby,Dunkin,Buffalo Wings, and several others all owned by Rourke as of today. 2 Subway founders family came away with 9.6 bilion,incredible success of 2 guys who started with one shop in1965.

 

[PlumLoco]

Across the board, retail food prices are up more than 20% just since 2020. Just like fuel and housing. Don't forget to vote

Well she makes nothing anyway and is not paid what she is worth.. just ask her.

I don't have to ask her . She will not shut up about it ! Haha

Don’t forget about these little burrito jobbies on the rollers at 7-11 also. It’s too bad they never have them at 1:00am during the week when we have early morning concrete pours. The donut shops aren’t even open at that time to get a warm ham and cheese croissant.

I believe subway is the most revue generated sandwich shop out there.... What to do to turn it around? I would rather have subway than jimmy johns or firehouse.

 

[Bobby V]

The subway by me is packed every day at lunch time. The new menu is pretty good. Still like Jersey Mikes though.

 

[BUDMAN]

Quite going to Subway years ago. Jersey Mikes for the win for us

Subway beats Firehouse subs?

Now it's probably been 20 years since I had one, but those chili cheese hot dogs from 7/11 were pretty good back then.
I actually went back and got another one after I woofed the first one down !

 

[2Driver]

I walk into Safeway and get one of the Kretschmar or Boarshead deli sandwiches a diet coke and walk out. It’s cheaper and way better than what ever that shit is subway puts between the bread.

LOL and who are they kidding with the faux black grill marks on the chicken meat, it’s some dude with a sharpie.

 

[DarkHorseRacing]

Subway beats Firehouse subs?

There aren’t any near me so I can’t grade them but I’ve seen the commercials and I would assume that they are also better than subway.

It doesn't seem that difficult, does it?

We need to Support Jimmy Johns anyway. Skater owner, big time hunter, kinda guy this forum can relate to.

Are they Union?

They are way better. I miss Quiznos, my closest one is about 20 miles away

 

[Skinny Tire AH]

I dunno? I don't recall seeing a picture in the franchises.

When Covid was at its peak, I was quarantined from my family (for a year) and I had Covid at the time. I was hungry so I drove up to JJ's by my house. I called them from the parking lot and asked them for delivery. She said, where to? I said I'm in a White F250 in your parking lot. She asked me why I didn't come in. I said I had Covid, can you just walk out and throw it in the back of my truck?

She said, "no sweat"

 

[Bobby V]

Are they Union?

Is who Union

 

[Skinny Tire AH]

Is who Union

Jersey Mikes...Duh.

 

[The Prisoner]

Timely post. I usually don’t go to Subway.. I was working yesterday that sometimes I need to go outside when a monsoon from hell hit…ran across the street to kill 20 minutes and get a quick foot long Italian $16! Yes with a bag of chips….half air and a medium drink. Miss the $5 dealings. Thin ass sandwich.
the high school girl was nice so I tipped her up anyway.

 

[The Prisoner]

Damn. That place still around? I forgot about them. Last one I was in was Havasu way way back.

 

[Bobby V]

Jersey Mikes...Duh.

Don’t know. But they take my UNION pension money.

 

[Luvnlife]

Fuck Subway. Sometimes you have to judge people. They had a pedophile then an un-American cunt as spokespeople

I'm in a rut #8 Turkey/Ham/bacon wheat "Mikes way" but no "juice" is my go to . Most would agree Jersey Mikes secret is super fresh hand made while you wait and consistency in quality

Its high time Americans hold these corporations accountable for their marketing decisions.

 

[Outdrive1]

Subway is a last resort food for me. I rarely eat there

 

[HNL2LHC]

Ed’s Deli is my go to these days!!!

 

[Heylam]

Board and Brew is our go to.

 

[Bobby V]

Board and Brew is our go to.

La Habra or Anaheim Hills? Used to go to La Habra before I retired.

 

[Cdog]

Ever read up on the subway tuna?

 

[jetboatperformance]

I want HER to make Me a Burger or Sammich

 

[The Prisoner]

This is what I grew up on. The best ever so nothing compares out here. The pepper relish type sauce is the secret. Old Italian place called Ricottis And at lunch when it’s busy they do not fuck around. They yell at everyone what do you want? And what do you want. Took care of every one fast…real Italian meats and fresh bread..
