According to Fox News, Subway recently invested USD 80 million in deli meat slicers to enhance the menu and revitalise its brand. Subway North America President Trevor Haynes said this move will elevate the guests’ meal experience and rekindle excitement around the brand.
Earlier this month, Subway dominated the news in India after some of its outlets halted serving tomatoes in their salads and sandwiches. This decision comes as the prices of tomatoes have skyrocketed nearly 400 percent in the country, reaching record highs.
A Delhi airport terminal’s Subway outlet posted a sign explaining the “Temporary Unavailability of TOMATOES" due to inadequate supply that meets quality standards.
Culinary Brands, owned by Everstone Group, holds the master franchisee for around 200 of India’s 800 Subway locations and manages the supply chain for all of them.
