The #1 Fast Food Chain Has Some Big Problems
THE STORY OF SUBWAY BY MAGNATESMEDIA: The 17 year old founder of Subway had never made a sub sandwich in his life, and his first restaurant failed miserably. So how did Subway overtake McDonald’s and become the biggest fast-food chain in the entire world? This is a story of both struggles and success, a tale of lawsuits and lies - this is the controversial history of Subway…
In 1965, 17-year-old Fred DeLuca wanted to become a doctor, but he had a problem. He was the son of poor Italian American immigrants and earned just $1.25 an hour at a hardware store, so he had no idea how he was going to pay for medical school. He’d grown up in public housing in the Bronx, and his family barely had enough money to scrape by. But then one day Fred and his parents got invited to a barbeque at the house of an old family friend, a nuclear physicist named Peter Buck. From the size of his house, it was clear that Peter was well off, and so Fred decided to ask him how he could make enough money for college, secretly hoping Peter might give him a loan. Instead, Peter’s answer was not what he expected. Peter said: “You should open a submarine sandwich shop.” They started out with one small location, originally called Pete's Super Submarines (before the rebrand to Subway), however their first store was not profitable. So how did Subway become so successful and become worth billions of dollars? Watch this video on Subway’s story to find out the controversial rise (and decline?) of Subway’s fast food empire!

[@jeremywj]

Here's one issue this video missed that is, in my opinion, pretty big...the fact that most stores do not honor promotions and coupons. Using a "deal" in the mobile app is impossible because so few stores participate. This leads to customers becoming upset and deciding to order elsewhere. Further, my local Subways don't even honor most coupons I receive in the mail almost weekly. This is, of course, because the store owner can't afford to accept them due to other factors this video points out. However, it also makes things that much worse for those stores as it alienates customers and decreases sales even further.

[@Trephining]

Had this experience locally within the past six months. The employee at hte store flat out told me they weren't accepting the printed and mailed "buy one get one free" coupons "because we are broke". They would still accept the others that were for things like a meal, get a half a sub, chips and a drink, but none that were buy a sandwich get one free. And that same store also started closing at 8pm on week nights. I usually drive by that location right around 7:55-8:10 on a few weeknights, and discovered they were closed when an employee came to the door at 8:02 to tell me they shortened their hours. So now it doesn't make much sense to even try.

[@MrTricksterWins]

Yea. I walked into 1/2 subways in my town and tried to use a coupon and they told me they don’t accept coupons. So I went to the other one the next week and that store as well doesn’t accept coupons. How can you make a coupon for your franchise and the place doesn’t accept the coupons?

​@MrTricksterWins why are you asking the coupon question? They already answered why before your comment. Most Subways are broke, they can't accept them, and if they would then they wouldn't even be there in the first place because they would be closed.

[@themegachase99]

The fact they offered Buy one Get one, and then revoked that and doubled the price of their food is despicable. That’s literally a bait scam. Their food is now more expensive than many other fast food restaurants. It’s not worth it, if you offer chips as a side you’re not worth $15 for a meal

[@SysiPaska]

[@kellyfitzgerald3224]

Subway has doubled prices after the pandemic. Just like McDonald’s. People making $7 hr can’t afford to buy a series sub for $12. They work 8 hours for $56. Before taxes. Spending 1/4 of a days wage on a sub is not going to happen on these areas. I’m in California I make $25 hr delivery driver and I don’t mind spending $12 on a sub. Also In California we have Food stamp program that allows low income people to use food stamps at Subway, McDonald’s, Del taco, Taco Bell, jack in the box, KFC, Popeyes and more. So mothers do take their children to subway to spend food stamps. If I was subway I would buy all the locations that are struggling and lease the restaurant at a break even . So they Barrow money at a low interest rate and buy the stores and lease the store to the franchise’s at the cost of the mortgage. As the buildings are paid off the mortgage gets cheaper so franchises owners are able to spend less and less on renting the building. Allowing for more profit. 2. I’d make competitive partnerships with farmers and Ensure the Ingredients are not sold to franchise’s at a higher price then subway pays the farmers so the ingredients the franchise’s gets the ingredients at the best price possible. Then I’d make the average price of the subs be the cost of 1 hours labor. I’d focus marketing dollars on getting people to download the app so subway can market directly to the customers and offer deals and savings. The average person is aware of the fast and fresh image of subway . The $5 foot long always was amazing value for customers but today it’s not possible. Id do $8 foot long menu where every sub is $8 on the classic menu then I’d keep the series subs but I’d make deals with celebrities with huge followers like the rock and Shaq and In the deal they would have to make periodic posts on Social media of them at a subway location choosing their sub off the menu and enjoying it . And saying “ eat fresh “ at the end with a smile . I’d also incentivize customers to post themselves ordering subs the way they like and sharing it on tik tok and other social media platforms. I’d try to make subway come Off as fair and generous to franchises making it attractive to open a franchise. I’d also have an alternative meat menu for vegans. I’d create new sauces that pays tribute to cultural dishes like Indian curry sauce , Korean bbq sauce & flavors from around the world. I’d make subway the craving everyone anywhere can enjoy.

The way they treat employees in my town is despicable. 3 stores went out of business because the same person owned all 3. They way she talked to them in front of customers was appalling. My uncle died 12 years ago and he loved Subway. The customers knew him by name and had his order ready by the time he sat down. He walked slowly. If he had witnessed this mistreatment, he would've never gone back. He retired from the food industry. He spent 50 years serving and managing.

I hadn't gone to a Subway in years. I got tired of paying more and more for less and less.

[@darthmeticulous6901]

Especially when now you can go to at least a few competitors, pay at most a small amount more if not the same price and get something that tastes better and is likely fresher. I’m hearing Jersey Mike’s is great, but I have yet to try it due to not having a close by location (one is set to open in the future though, so this will change). However, I DO know of two better choices: Firehouse Subs and Penn Station. Firehouse is literally everything Subway wishes it was, including fresher ingredients and full sandwiches. Penn Station is the next level… where you get to watch the meats get cooked on a grill, they put quite a bit on the sandwiches (and most of them give you choices of additional toppings as well) and they carry pretty good fries. Both are more expensive, but well worth it, only downside is fewer locations. Fortunately, I know of at least two good locations of each of them, thus I see no reason to even consider Subway.

[@dukenukem7043]

i stopped going to subway when they discontinued the 5 dollar foot long. i remember the last time i ever went, they charged me like 12 bucks for footlong that i thought was going to be 5 dollars, then the employee said " oh we changed the menu and pricing". haven't been to a subway in over 3 years

McD was already present nearby so that was off the table, KFC not really a thing anywhere and Burger King only 3x in the country. And I wanted Subway because I knew it from Germany and many other countries. Once I was handed the contract it was one thing only - suicide. I gave it back with that comment and they laughed at me that if I won't take it they will find someone else no later than the next month who will. It is 2023 and no Subway anywhere. And I saw some places in Germany not named Subway anymore but selling similar menus under own names and brands. The worst part thou is when you look at any employee at Subway. You can tell how bad the company is for the one's who are doing the leg work while the one's who quit and do it under their brand are happy and friendly as you'd expect anyone doing well for himself.

It's simply overpriced these days for the consumer. I visited the other day (with a coupon) and you were looking at £7 just for the 'basic' subs without coupon. If you order off Just Eat etc then this goes up to almost over £11 for a footlong meal deal. The inside of stores have barely been modernised. Self Service ordering machines are pretty standard in most fast food chains here and would be a good addition. Although this is probably UK specific due to sugar tax, you can't even get standard Pepsi from the fountain machine...

Mind you re. self service machines, would those be easy to implement for Subway? I would think the fact that there's quite a lot of flexibility within the items would make it a bit more challenging, coupled with the fact that there doesn't seem to be a lot of people working in them compared to other places...

[@JKGuitar]

@@fetchstixRHD I can't see why not. You can order on Just Eat etc and that's basically the same as using a self serving machine. The lack of staff could be an issue but I'd imagine lack of space is the major one. Alot of stores are tiny here in the UK

[@pratheekk__]

plus there are better sandwich stores out there such as jersey mikes which were cheaper and had higher quality than subway.

[@JKGuitar]

@@pratheekk__ That's where Subway has an advantage in the UK as there's no other big sandwich shops other then independent delis/,bakeries

[@tedkaczynskiamericanhero3916]

No it's the same problem in the states. I can get a hoagie at two different places, that are just as good or better, with more filling for the same price. I get they have to make money but it's at the point where the prices are so high because of gross negligence at the highest levels of the company.

[@battleborn5585]

Love your channel and videos man. 🙏 Keep killing it. Great video. Sad how ridiculously expensive subway has gotten

[@kurtl6126]

Ya know hes made it when he gets spam bots like the big channels

[@Trephining]

OUt of curiosity, exactly how expensive has Subway gotten in your area? I mean, post specific prices along with the year/month. It might be interesting for someone else to see that data point in the future when prices have changed even more.

[@SBCraftmc]

Brands and History, that's what I call a good mix. Exotic channel.

[@princek755]

dawg that super epic intro best so far

[@thatonedaniel98]

After working for Subway I can conclude, that the feeling that I've got from franchise was as described in the video. Cheap, and not caring that much about what is going on, or how to promote it in the area. The only thing that mattered was that the Sub shop was there even tho we may've been always in the red numbers.

[@soupygaming9731]

The most criminal thing they have done is removing the one good bread they have

[@fullthrottlebeatzfreestyle1844]

Agreed

[@jamesroy791]

I liked the harvest one they had and removed it and for a good while i stopped going entirely once they took off mutigrain good thing it's back

[@illusionxmuta]

Every Subway in my area in a 30 mile radius is franchised to foreigners (usually Indians or Nepalis) who are very stingy with the ingredients and lack friendly customer service. The last time I went, which was three years ago, I asked for more pickles and they said I needed to pay.

The same problems they don't speak English well so it's hard to understand and some subways charge extra so I avoid going to those ones

Very Deep Research 💚

[@chev39rsh]

Tried them a few times when they arrived in NH and Ma. They were no where as good as local family run sub shops. I started avoiding subways as generic expensive and flavorless subs. I preferred discovering good local sub shops and that wasn't hard to do. I haven't been in a subway for 20 years.

[@patternwhisperer4048]

I really like subway at the part of europe I live in. Prices are fine, even after inflation hit. Ingredients feel fresh, and a footlong is more than enough for me. There also seem to be plenty of subways around that do well

[@Gecko....]

You must not have had a proper subway sandwich if you enjoy it then. But anyway, just because your local store is doing well it doesn't mean it's not in decline. It clearly is, their profits are down by almost half from 13 years ago.

[@markc.1]

Part of Europe? Which part? Is it a secret?

[@coltfromda806]

Subway is one of the only companies that can convince someone eating a whole loaf of bread is healthy

[@darthmeticulous6901]

In Subway’s case, it’s bold to assume it’s bread. After all, they got in trouble because there’s too much sugar in the “bread” to legally be counted as bread in Ireland.

[@sormusoliver]

I love the incredible growth you've gained recently! Just a couple of weeks ago you were only 14k subs strong, keep it up and please don't end up like Jake Tran. Looking forward for the new uploads!

I’ve been obsessed about creating a documentary style KZbin channel in recent weeks thanks to your vids. I’ve been binge watching your channel, especially KZbin [influence] playlist to get more data, on how this works. Thanks to your channel I will soon have my KZbin channel. This comment is not only to thank you for educating and entertaining me, or tell you to keep up the great work. But it’s also to hold myself accountable. Great video boss

Sixty years in the US and I never heard any of those stories because I was a food snob and wouldn’t consider eating at a Subway while I had copious better alternatives in the San Francisco Bay Area. Subway though is pretty popular here in Bangkok, Thailand and a bit of a godsend. Thai don’t do sandwiches very well. I started to give Subway a try. While I would prefer crusty bread, Subway’s offerings are acceptable and I can get a reasonable representative American sandwich in Thailand. The stores are not so numerous that they compete with each other. That honor goes to 7-11 franchises. You can have three to four 7-11’s within spitting distance of each other here.

[@steazymccheesy2649]

Me and my friend were joking during our trip to thailand that when you're more then 100m away from a 7/11 , you're not actually in thailand anymore. We'd hop into one whenever we were in diar need of some A/C on a hot day

[@dlp5924]

I used to like Subway but have not gone back after learning there's an ingredient in their bread that's also found in yoga mats!

[@mikec3949]

I haven't gone back after tasting their new cheesesteak sub. Worst sandwich I've ever had. No exaggeration

[@hamzapathan4671]

Iam getting subway ads on this video....elite ‼️🤣👍🏻

[@christylove5807]

Do you remember several years ago, a private party hired a third party to test the tuna at Subway? The party sued Subway after discovering the "tuna" was NOT TUNA. The Petitioner took the settlement and it was agreed upon with the stipulation that the "tuna's" true identity not be disclosed. Upon a quick Google glance, I see the issue was put back on the table as recently as July 2022. I personally don't eat at Subway. Admittedly, this became even more definite when learning about the "tuna".

[@angrysilence1234....]

That worries me, because my adult son only gets the "tuna" sub from subway, if I order from there, which I don't do much, now, because they are VERY EXPENSIVE!! I save MORE money by ordering sub rolls and the toppings/veggies from the grocery store!! I AM MORE TRUSTING OF THE QUALITY TOO!!

[@juan9858]

@@angrysilence1234.... its already debunked its safe the case is already finished from what i remember

Idc what others say, the 1956 birth of Jersey Mike's was a total game changer for me. Love their subs to death. ❤

[@chrism1895]

Thanks for the content but what’s with all the promotional affiliates I get that you need cash in your hard work but I pay KZbin premium to not have ads seems unfair in my opinion or maybe KZbin needs to increase content creator revenue from views

[@extremehhtv]

I used to go to subway once a week but once they discontinued the seafood sub I haven't been back. Smh

[@mikec3949]

I used to get the seafood sub all the time. Now I'm craving it! You could just get the ingredients from a grocery store and make it. I might do that
