The best local sandwich shop in my town sells really good ones for $8-11. If Subway were still $5 they might be competitive. At $14 it sounds like the company no longer understands its product.

The best sandwich shop in my town is the deli at the grocery store. They are less concerned about skimping on ingredients because it's more important to entice you in and get you spending money in the aisles.

For $8 or $9 they will stuff a footlong sub so full they can barely fold it over. And it's generally fresher ingredients than you'd find in a Subway

Harris Teeter where I live. We do have Publix locations around now though. I still need to check them out and see if they live up to the hype.

HARRIS TEETER GANG HARRIS TEETER GANG Better than Publix, Harris Teeter gang for life. When Sheron is on shift you know you're in for a delicious fully loaded sub

Nah don't let Publix consume your town.

Trust me it's not as good as wanting that monopoly.

There’s a Jewish deli near me that gives me a full meal for ~15USD and the sandwich they give you is PACKED with meat and incredible bread. It’s glorious. There’s no chance I’d go to Subway over that.

Local options are always better. The Mexican joint sells you a massive breakfast burrito for $6. Nepalese takeout will feed you for days for $16. Hot dog truck will fill you up with delicious processed meat for $4.

Subway? Subpar lunch made out of cardboard and ground up yoga mats for almost $20.

Also, subways business model is predatory to their franchisees and employees.
