Is Subway in trouble?

Quiznos is a total ripoff.

 

Quiznos is good, but way too expensive. You get chips and a drink and you're talking $11 w/tax. Ridiculous. You could get a sit-down meal at some places for that money.

Have only had Jimmy John's once, but it was very good. Bread was excellent. I hit Sheetz a lot more than I ever hit Subway.

 

We had a kid making a sub run at work and I told him to get me a roast beef sub and I handed him $6. After going to Quiznos, I owed him four bucks.

 

It's pretty sad in the South when a grocery store gives you the best sub.

 

This guy just opened 2 Quizno's on opposite sides of town, I've only been once and wasn't impressed.
In upstate NY, there's a local chain called Jreck's Subs, one just closed here, another is in a seedy area of town.
We have Subway but I've never been impressed.
For me, the best sub comes from a regional grocery store chain called Wegmans. They are awesome, excellent bread.
The closest Panera Bread is a 45 minute drive, my kids love it, so we're going to do a trip on Columbus Day. I'm yearning soup in a bread bowl.
BTW, if I remember correctly, you can't order a sandwich your way at Panera because they're all pre-made, right?

 

Wegman's is great. When we used to do weekend trips to Bills games we always hit the Wegmans across from the Walden Galleria (we'd stay at the Sheraton) and load up on subs and other stuff to eat. Good times...

There was another good sub place near there that we'd hit on occasion but the name escapes me.

 

I just don't get bent out of shape over a difference between $5 and $8 on a sub. And I just believe Quizno's subs are tastier than Subway.

Wegmann's is heaven on earth. We finally got ours last month, about 10 miles from my front door. And twice, I've just gone there like it was a mall. Browse without buying anything for about an hour, scoping out what I really wanted. Then at the end, I went and got it.

Our Wegmann's has these specialty areas (and I WILL miss some). And each specialty area has its own "experts" to help you.

Sub station
Pizza station
Salad bar
Chinese food bar (just like salad bar, pay per pound, but as much selection as your typical Chinese buffet)

Seafood bar (with a counter where you can order and eat)
Seafood salad station

Bakery with dessert, cookie and bread stations
Out-of-area newspapers (around the world)

Not saying you're wrong, but I know of places where there are McDonalds within two blocks of each other. York Road in suburban Baltimore immediately comes to mind.

 

Gandolfo's Deli.

Better than the rest, and it's not even close.

 

So you like the design of the place?

 

Cousins beats all. Unfortunately, there aren't any in my immediate vicinty.

I like Subway better than Quizno's. But I like Jimmy John's better than either, at least when they don't put brown lettuce on my sandwich, which is what happened on my last trip to a Jimmy John's in Champaign. That sandwich presumably fed a whole family of raccoons on I-74.

There's also a northwoods chain called Erbert and Gerbert's that's pretty good.

 

Oh ... thanks. I forgot the HELMETS station.
