‘Subway’s $6.99 footlong sandwich deal has sparked a revolt from the chain’s biggest franchise group — which has raised concerns the discount will spark losses for cash-strapped restaurateurs, The Post has learned.
Subway announced the promotion on Friday, joining the fast-food value menu wars to lure back inflation-battered consumers.
Under the deal, which is only accessible through the Subway app, a footlong sub goes for $6.99 — sharply below regular prices between $11 and $17.
In response, Bill Mathis — chair of the North American Association of Subway Franchisees, or NAASF — speaking for its Board of Directors — advised the group’s members to ignore the promotion, which is slated to run through Sept. 8.
“If your franchise agreement allows, DO NOT PARTICIPATE in the $6.99 promotion,” Mathis urged franchisees in a private blog post on Sunday which was viewed by The Post. “NAASF is advising to opt out.”
NAASF — Subway’s only major franchise group — represents about 2,500 franchisees companywide, who operate a significant chunk of Subway’s nearly 20,000 North American restaurants.‘
