If you notice, most subways have recently been upgraded in terms of appearance. The franchise recently got rid of the famous subway wall paper and replaced it with something a little more current. They have a new image now, since they've become quite the popular place to eat in today's society.

Ours have not. They still have the same look as when they opened in the 80s. Also the manager at one of them was nutty. I still eat there about once a year. Also they have several critical health code violations.
The singing rats in that Quizno's commericals were called spongemonkeys.
Subways is great. I wonder how Jerrod lost all that weight? I can't be from the Subway subs. In the bringer of bad news, Subway is discontinuing its Sub Club promotion due to fraud.

The Walmart near me in Oxford, MA ditched their little food place for a Subway!
Yuck that Wal mart looks like a copycat Caldor/Target how horrble lol
In Newington, there is three Subway stores. One is on Main Street in the Brook's Pharmacy plaza, the second across from Price Chopper, and the third now inside the Newington Wal-Mart.

Subways are ridiculous, they are becoming the Dunkin Donuts of the fast food world. I know around here, if your town doesn't have at least two Subways in it, it's probably not on the map...

The long story about our Subway: Subway opened in a town located at a half hour drive from our city wich is bigger. People often made the trip and we always saw somebody we knew from our town there...!
Finally Subway opened in our town. A few months after the opening, the building was destroyed after a huge fire. So for several months, we were without a Subway. It later re-opened. Today, we have
two Subway and a Quizno's... so we're on the map
This Subway is in Cooperstown on Route 28, just outside the southern end of the village proper. It is a rather unusual looking building and sign, probably was something else prior to this.

The one in the tiny town of Plainville moved from a tiny little building in downtown next to the Railroad Tracks to Route 10 near Woodford Avenue. They share space with a Tobacco Store.
The "toasted" subs aren't that great. I had one at the one across from the Southington Shaws. The meat was still cold. The cheese was barely melted and the bread was soggy.

I love your knowledge of Central Connecticut, Marc. That Subway has been there since the later 90s. The [indian] owners keep that store running very well even if they charge $.59 for soda refills (which is rare for any franchise Subway store to charge for refills). That Tobacco store used to be a bank, then when Subway moved in it became a Whole Donut. They're now a (presumably) family owned Tobacco/convenience store.

I hope that's it... There may be more. We don't have that many McDonalds, or Burger King's, but we have three Wendy's... wtf?
My friend Jeff and I went to the Meriden Square Mall oh about a 6 or 8 weeks ago. He got dinner at Subway that night. It took them like 15 minutes to make his sandwich, which should've taken maybe 5 at the most. Plus he said the sandwich wasn't that great. He said the people at the Price Chopper we work at make better sandwiches. I haven't eaten at Subway in quite a while. Probably not since August 06 when I applied to work at one (which I didn't get hired at).
The whole problem with Subway is the way they franchise. Doctors Associates Inc, the company who owns the trademark, loves authorizing new franchises because it means more cashflow in royalties. In fact you can look in just about any newspaper and find well-placed ads for Subway brain-washing seminars. The problem is this is saturating the markets in practically every region, mostly here in the northeast.
The initial franchise fee is very small and virtually no startup money is needed besides what is needed to open the restaurant itself, whereas most other franchises, ex. Taco Bell and Dunkin Donuts require you to prove you have up to 1 million in free cash. This is bringing in many normal people who want to "upgrade" their mom and pop businesses and gain the security and brand of a franchise.
The fact that it is relatively cheap to open a Subway, and the DAI consultants tantalizing prospective franchisees with beefed up sales forecasts, is why you see four and five of them in small towns. And, unless they all happen to be owned by the same person, they are all generally competing against each other.
DAI actually has a 2010 Master Plan as well, and are far ahead of schedule with that. At one point they even claimed there was a new Subway opening every 48 hours worldwide.
You might not want to talk smack about your employer online... I shared a rant with a friend, who worked at another Burger King... and they found out.

Don't mean to divert the attention off-topic but do they really care that much? You can speak your mind outside their time(clock). And if you're not working for them anymore, then so bigger what? Besides, you can just find another job... most of these places thrive on people they can just scare into being "fired". What they need is to simply get off their high horse; you can get paid minimum anywhere else... heck... across the street. Humph...
Every Subway is independantly owned and operated, so I'm employed by the owners of the store, not the company. It's been a year and a half and they can't even break even, so their thoughts about DAI and SFAFT are similar to mine. They fail to mention to you that their own stats show most Subway franchises don't see a profit unless they are across the street from a college or office park, or multiple units are owned.

the one in hammonton, new jersey also has one, but I think it's because it used to be a bank.
The Walmart I work at has one in there. I've been spending way too much money there in the month or so I've worked at Walmart.
A Subway will be opening in a portion of the former Forestville Theatre in the Forestville Section of Bristol, Connecticut by the end of 2008. It will be owned by Terrence who owns 19 other Subways in the state.

My friend Andy (who used to work at the one inside the Walmart in Southington) is the manager of this store. He gave me permission to take pictures of the store. I couldn't however because the Chinese guy that owns the nail salon/spa next door threaten to call the cops on me if I didn't leave his property. (Yeah his property. He doesn't own the plaza. The plaza is owned by Carpenter Realty). He also yelled at me for parking in front of his salon to go to Subway. I told him to shut the eff up before I call the Immigration and Naturalization Service on him. (It's a shared parking lot. The salon is in the next store front over from Subway).

My friend Paul took me to the Meriden Mall on Saturday and Subway has re-opened. They must've been closed for a remodel.
Subway is opening another new restaurant in Southington, Connecticut. This one is downtown at 1 North Main Street where a local pottery shop called "The Auracle" used to be located. That's on top of a new one that opened on Meriden-Waterbury Road in the Milldale section of Southington last year. Not sure who owns the one on MW Road, but the new one downtown will be owned by Terrance McMorrow, who owns around 3 dozen Subways in CT. The downtown one is across the street from a closed Quizno's.
The Subway in downtown Southington on North Main Street opened on Wednesday according to a resident who lives nearby.

Does Subway have rules about what radio station gets played at their restaurants? I've been to several in both Southington and Bristol Connecticut (some co-owned and others not) and they all have 105.9 The River playing. They're what's known as a Variety Hits radio station. http://www.theriver1059.com/
Do Subway's in other areas all play the same radio station? (I don't mean do they all play The River, I mean do they all play the same local station?)
I like Subway as the next guy, but does anyone think a $10 gift card to Subway is a good prize? 2 radio stations in my area have been giving these out as prizes lately.

I went to Subway at 1197 Farmington Ave in Bristol, CT yesterday (which is right by the Hobby Lobby I work at) and while waiting to order my sandwich another Subway employee walked in and the young lady behind the counter making sandwiches informed her co-worker that Subway was no longer doing $5 Foot-Longs. The other employee sighed heavily and commented how the customers would be yelling at them even though they don't control the prices. The remaining $5 Foot-longs are now $5.25
It looks like the $5 Footlongs have given way to the Simple $6 Menu, which is good news for me, because - until they change their minds - my 6" Meatball Marinara combo will finally be a flat $6 across the board, instead of $6 at one Subway and almost $8 at another one.
The 5 dollar foot long has been gone for a few months now, I noticed it a while ago.
I been looking at other sub places like Pot Belly, Get It Toasted, and Dibellas when I go to Newington.

Subway has dropped Jared Fogel as their spokesman after 15 years. The FBI raided his house in Indiana on Tuesday. Many speculated that this was a follow up investigation after some one from Jared's foundation was arrested in April for manufacturing Child Porn. Now a Florida woman has come forward and claimed she's the one who tipped off the FBI claiming Fogel told her he's attracted to underage girls! Fogel's lawyers no doubt dispute this claim.
Subway Corporate is located on Bic Drive in Milford, Connecticut. The world head quarters of Bic Corporation (razors, pens, lighters, etc) used to be located on Bic Drive.
Marc's Note: Did anyone see this news report on TV? Jared got fat again! Look I'm not one to talk because I'm fat too, but Jared is the one who was made spokesman of Subway after losing 250 pounds by eating Subway.
Will Subway be able to recover from The Jared Fogel Scandal? There are many who have said they refuse to eat there now.
It's Fogle, not Fogel. Yes, they will recover, and find a new spokesperson.
The Subway on Van Horn Road in Trenton, Michigan is a former Wendy's. It still looks like a Wendy's on the outside and to a lesser extent (due to the furniture that Subway put in) on the inside. It relocated from a strip mall across the road in 2012 or 2013. This Wendy's was a short-lived location, opening in 2002 and closing in 2006.
The Fogle situation is bad for Subway, but they have even bigger problems, chief among them that sales are falling due to its customer base moving on to options like Chipotle and Panera that are perceived as being healthier or better-tasting. They got busted for using a chemical in their sub rolls that was also used in yoga mats, which was probably a greater deterrent for going to Subway than having a pedophile spokesman. Subway was doing OK when their competition was the likes of McDonald's, Wendy's and Burger King, but the competition is fierce and getting fiercer all the time.

Is the Jared Fogle incident damaging? You bet.
Will it be fatal? Not likely.
Not even after Subway left a kid's online game called Jared's Pants Dance
active on their website for about a week after this story became public. Oops!
They will get a new ad campaign going, and eventually people will forget
about him. I say that having worked for a company that once hired Bill Cosby
as our spokesperson.
I do agree that their bigger challenge is
changing customer tastes and more competition.

In other news, the Subway on the future Cinemark corridor at Southland Center in Taylor, MI closed a few months ago, but they will return to the mall soon.
Subway just introduced a new logo based on their original logo:
(http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/logopedia/images/a/a2/Subway.logo.8.5.svg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/300?cb=20160806043846)

Both logos have been quietly rolled out in TV commercials, and are expected to go live next year.
There's a logo change I can live with!

Yes! I like to remember Subway for their submarine sandwiches made with fresh, baked bread. This really is a "fresh" new direction for the chain, which could never have come at a better time than this. They're positioning themselves for a great future with fresher ingredients and a "clean slate" while honoring their past. I really hope they bring back their New York City Subway wallpaper. I really loved that.

I used to like Marketplace. It was an interesting program on consumer issues but has slowly shifted towards being somewhat anti-capitalist and against big corporations, they favor big government. They're part of that being a national public network funded by government.
Subway is unveiling a new looks for its restaurants. This after four straight years of slumping sales.
http://www.bristolpress.com/BP-General+News/293094/subway-looking-to-update-stores-notsofresh-look
Brammy's thoughts: To the guy who said this will be a hardship to struggling franchisees, I say then Subway should revoke the franchise licenses. Simple as that.
I wish stores wouldnt use TABLETS as CASH REGISTERS lol......other than that.....pic looks awesome....
This remodel WILL be a major burden on franchisees. They are small business people,
and most are not wealthy by any stretch of the imagination. By forcing this Subway
WILL put a lot of them out of business (which is perhaps their intent).
I expect a flood of lawsuits will follow.
I rarely ever get subway, Wawa is better.
Then a couple of local hoagie places are leagues better.
Also Ordering tablets make sense since Wawa has had them over a decade at least, I imagine there are people that would rather choose all their options then order then have to watch the "Sandwich Artist" make the hoagie while asking them at each step what they want.
While I like the look of it, I doubt it will go as planned for ALL stores - just like any remodel for any brand.
Us Nutmeg-ers might get it first, though - Subway's headquarters is in Milfrod, CT.
From what I've heard over the years, Subway isn't the easiest franchise to own & be a success. I've seen a lot of them go under over time, including the one we had in our small town. It's not exactly a money machine.

That's probably because apparently like Dunkin there is no exclusivity to one particular town for franchisees. Take my hometown of Bristol, Connecticut.
There are at least 3 different franchise owners for Subway.
I think 815 Pine Street, 296 Middle Street, 1400 Farmingon Ave (inside Walmart), and possibly 1197 Farmington Ave are all owned by one guy who owns like 2 1/2 dozen locations statewide
Now 123 Farmington Ave has a different owner. And I believe 59 North Main Street has a different owner than the rest.
I just hope some locations get a logo switch, if they can't afford a full renovation of their restaurant.

I tried their new Autumn Carved Turkey sub. It was delicicious. I loved that they brought back the yellow cheddar slices. I also love the sweet cranberry mustard.
Here's my closest Subway. Just a typical location:

The location at the Eastern Hills Mall has closed, though I am not sure if this is temporary or not. The signage has come down, but they have left all equipment and background decorations up. Remodel possible?
I miss the NYC subway wallpaper that was used throughout the dining area of their restaurants from 1980 to 2002.
Even the Subway website used the NYC subway motif back when they started in 1996:

If your Subway's parking lot is empty but the OPEN sign is on at 7AM, that might not be the case much longer

Not quite sure how they figured these out anyway.
Our local one (for instance) opens at 8am, 9am on Sunday. Seems a bit late for the weekdays (since a good amount of people in this area commute to a city about 20 miles away, so many are on the road before 8am) and even for the weekends (we've had people who would grab something for a trip, but we usually leave by 8 on a Saturday so it's a bit too late for that.
Others in surrounding areas open at 7, which would make more sense. Hopefully they aren't just judging on existing traffic and not knowing what they might get by being open an hour or so earlier...
