4 American Food Chains That Died And Came Back | Rise and Fall Marathon | Business Insider

[@jaimeortega4940]

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]

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.

Same! Those were the days, could get lunch/dinner for 2 for about $10-$15 depending on what all you got. Now you have to pay extra for a normal sandwich :( @@stevenporter863

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.

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!

First Group originally First Bus was a UK bus company publicly owned after the 80s in the UK a managerial buyout occurred following the Bus Transport Sector's privatisation. First Group operated Greyhound Canada, First Student (Massive North American School Bus Company) First Rail, and many acquisitions resulting in a monopoly of some bus operations globally. To date it pulls in billions in revenue and millions in net profit.

[@halycon404]

@@joshuahill6153 First Group isn't a representative company. They were given and continue to hold a government granted monopoly on services for core business as no one wants 5 different competing bus fleets clogging up downtown Aberdeen. There's been more than a few calls over the decades to revoke them. Then there's all the government money still pumped into them. Every time Scotland announces an initiative for bus fleets what it really means is they're going to be giving First Group millions of dollars to do something. There is a lot of anger over that company in certain circles. They're privatized but the tax payers are still paying them money every year to provide the service they're supposed to be able to run without it. That was the entire point of privatizing it.

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.
