Starting in 2014, Subway's sales began steadily dropping. Behind the scenes, many of the reasons for Subway's success had turned on them. Quiznos was once Subway's main competition, but tons of sub chains, like Jimmy John's, Firehouse, Potbelly, and Jersey Mike's, and fast-casual chains like Panera, were offering seemingly fresher and healthier options. And they started stealing market share.
They were competing against people who bring in fresh produce every day. A lot of Subway locations only bring in fresh produce once or twice a week.
On top of that, fast-food chains that had been around as long as Subway were coming up with healthy alternatives of their own and getting creative with new menus.
Subway's 42,000 locations are the most of any fast-food chain on the planet, but franchise owners are taking a hit
