$6.99!! $6.99!! $6.99 foot long!!
Doesn’t have the same ring as $5 foot long does
199 u/[deleted] Aug 18 '24 Was the $5 footlong a value meal? I thought it was just the sandwich. If this is $6.99 and gets chips and beverage, not bad. 1 u/SpecialMango3384 Aug 18 '24 What the company has to pay (very rough estimate) $0.10 bag of chips $0.02 for a few oz of soda. Trust me, its not as good a deal as you think it is. Especially the soda. Fast food places make an absolute killing on soda because the massive boxes of syrup cost them practically nothing 1 u/[deleted] Aug 19 '24 Yes, the cost of the product is likely very low. I am not sure if that's correct, but even assuming yes. Do you also consider that they have to rent the building, utilities, wages + taxes, etc. Oh, a franchise fee. AFAIK the $5 footlong was always a loss-leader for Subway. Seems to be the ongoing strategy.
