Why doesn't everyone know that the BMT is by far the best sandwich?

The BMT is amazing, in case you were wondering it was originally called the Boston Manhattan Transit, then a couple years ago they realized nothing else there except the wallpaper had anything to do with subways, so they changed it to Bigger Meatier Tastier.

A manager offered to give me a dollar off if I knew either of the names one time. I didn't. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

This is very interesting- thanks for sharing your knowledge.

1. Do you know how much it costs to buy a franchise in your area?

2. When you say that costs run about 70-75% of revenue, is that excluding rent? So if you're an owner, pulling in say 30% of sales, what (if any) costs come out of your 30%? These guys can't be pocketing $4k a week?

It can take between $75,000 and $225,000 to open a location. All Subway locations are franchised and the franchisor spends its time supporting the franchisees and ensuring the quality of the product/service. There's a one-time $15,000 franchising fee and an 8% royalty fee.

I would say an average location pulls down no more than $750,000 in annual revenue. Assuming a 25% margin, which I think is pretty optimistic, you're looking at a 17% share for the owner after royalties. That comes out to $127,500. I'd be surprised if owners had that much net income per location. I would guess more in the $50,000-100,000 range.

Arnie,

Whats the best/worst part of your job?

I had a friend who managed a Subway store. He always stole tons of food from there and basically stocked his fridge with the meat and ate it constantly. Do you ever grab a quick box of Subway turkey goodness and take it home with you? How often?

Ever met Jarred? Whats your opinion of his fat ass?

The best part of my job is the free food, i rarely go to the grocery store. I don't take a bunch a stuff home and stock my fridge, but I do enjoy takeing whatever i want when i want, plus my friends/family enjoy it too. The worst part of my job is makeing the numbers look good for the owner. The food cost is affected by my stealing [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]
