Went to the new one at 815 Pine Street in the Forestville Commons (Stop & Shop Plaza) today. It's very nice and it seems nicer than the other Subways I've been too. For those interested it's in the building that used to be the movie theater.

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).

Subway at The Meriden Sqaure Mall has closed. The sign is still up, but they have one of those fake walls blocking where they used to be in the food court next to Taco Bell.

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.

[ynkeesfn82]

The Subway in downtown Southington on North Main Street opened on Wednesday according to a resident who lives nearby.

The closet Subway to me is 25 feet from my house... :)

[ynkeesfn82]

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?)

[ynkeesfn82]

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-98.3 a Top 40 station in Willimantic, Connecticut

Power 1270 y Power 990 a Spanish station in Springfield Mass/Southington CT

Maybe to Hispanics it is... ;D

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

[jason83080]

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.

[TRU7536]

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.

Inside the Subway inside the Southington Walmart. Pic taken 10/22/08.

This location is now closed. Sign is down and the whole area is cover with a plastic tarp. Talked to a Walmart friend of mine who told me the Subway was under-performing and that the owner shut down another one in Waterbury, CT. (Maybe it was the one inside Walmart too?)

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.

[ynkeesfn82]

Will Subway be able to recover from The Jared Fogel Scandal? There are many who have said they refuse to eat there now.

[Retail Fan+ (Justin Hill)]

It's Fogle, not Fogel. Yes, they will recover, and find a new spokesperson.

[Hudsons81]

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.

[retailisking]

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.

subway sales have been lagging even before this scandal. I rather pay a little more than the stuff they serve, stopped eating their a long time ago. They over expanded and they will down the road will be what Mcdonlds is having issues now.
