Subway +600
Posted: Thu 29 January, 2009 Filed under: Cynicism, Thoughts Leave a comment »Is it just me that finds it slightly depressing to read that Subway plan to open up 600 new shops in the next two years? That’s something like 6 new shops a week, just under one a day. (5.75 per week, 0.82 per day, to be accurate)
Yet another franchise model comes over from the US a la Macdonalds, Starbucks and the rest.
Admittedly, I’d rather have something from a Subway than from a Macdonalds when it comes to “fast food”, and I don’t object (too much) to their food, but still, I’d rather not be seeing them on every sodding high-street, which seems to be the goal.
