My local Subway...only one in 25miles is awful. Their hours change like the wind. You never know when "the computer is down" and they won't take coupons or card. On top of that the franchise owner has started to cut corners. Knowing that a Subway franchise cost is relatively low, I wonder if I could just start one and put the other one out of business. Then swoop in and buy that location.

Subway's food quality went down and there are so many locations that franchises are in competition with each other similar to 7-11 who also doesn't own any stores just sells franchises. That alone tells you these aren't that profitable,

@stevenporter863 4 месяца назад

I miss the Subway $5. The quality and attention to detail (custom made) has gone really down while prices skyrocketed. What was $5 is now $11 plus they want a tip - and the quantity of food to make the sandwich has gone way down too (soggy limp lettuce and seems like all white ends of tomatoes). Subway for over 20 years, now it is just a don't have a choice.

Great video! You guys should do one on the travel industry! You could do airlines in all the different areas (Private, Legacy, LCC, ULCC, bankrupt like TWA or Pan Am, etc.). You could do hotel chains like on Hilton, Marriott, Choice, Wyndham, etc. You could also tap into the car rental space like Enterprise or Hertz or Avis! I think these could be really interesting. Could even tap into Uber/Lyft how it impacted the taxi industry. Or Airbnb/Vrbo how it cancelled out Craigslist. So many possibilities!

@catw6998 5 дней назад

I used to like going to eat at Quiznos and then after we lost ours, it came down to Subway. Then we felt ripped off as the commercial subs looked nothing like you would get. Then the stories about the quality /freshness of meats, et cetera came into focus. The newer menu items at Subway has been helpful. Bu5 then the franchisees had the option to play along with the specials BOGO. You had the coupon in hand but when you got to front to order, you were told that store didn’t participate. 😡😡😡. Being that we lived in one state and worked in another, it was getting difficult to remember which stores participated and which ones didn’t.. Like every food place in a Mall or a big business like Walmart, Subway, has to keep on top with rent. Had a fave Ma&Pa cake and coffee shop that eventually exited. Rumors flew that Mall was charging them 3x more than some of the stores likeSears or JCP. In actuality, we didn’t go to the mall for JCP., we went to share their latte and sometimes a slice of their cake.

Chuck E Cheese definitely was the go to birthday spot or just a great place I wanted to go to growing up from 6-11 years old. Subway is still terrible at most locations I got sick a few times stop eating them in 2016 and just recently had it, it was much better than I could remember. TGI Fridays has always been terrible I’ve never had a good food experience there. It was a great hang out place when I lived in a small town in Virginia other than that I will avoid them at all cost.
