Date: December 27th, 2025 12:21 AM Author: elite temple jap My understanding is that the big problem with Subway is that they were so desperate for additional franchise revenue that they let new franchises open up anywhere, including right next door to existing franchises. If you're in a good location with no other franchises nearby, you're probably doing okay. But most Subway franchises have 3-4 other Subway franchises within a two-block radius.

Date: December 27th, 2025 1:45 AM Author: bat shit crazy tanning salon that may be the case with subway in particular, but we represented a franchisee lender many years ago and had to review an enormous amount of bullshit as a junior associate and at that time you almost couldn't lose money, a bad fast food place was still netting you a fair bit of money and the owners don't manage shit (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5814450&forum_id=2...id.#49542200) |

Date: December 27th, 2025 12:45 PM Author: elite temple jap Yeah, most franchise restaurants won't let you open a new franchise within a close proximity of an existing franchise because they want to protect the existing franchise owners. But Subway lets you open anywhere that you want, so the different franchise owners all end up cannibalizing each other's sales.

Date: December 27th, 2025 8:03 AM Author: Adulterous stead Guys, I know we love to joke around here but stay the fuck away from Subway franchises. They are horrible businesses where you put in 250k to make 45k as a fucking owner operator. In the post Covid world, people don't want to work for $8 an hour any more and their business model collapsed. Tons of these "long time" locations are closing.
I looked at being a franchisee years ago and it was lol what a bad deal it was. Also represented one of these franchisees who managed to scrape together a chain of locations, only to have his company disintegrate in his hands when labor costs rose. He sold his whole chain of like 8 locations for the price of a fucking car. |
