My dad was a Jimmy John's franchisee. He sold the store after Jimmy John's started their new policy of "clustering", which meant opening as many stores as possible in a single area. When he first opened the store in our town, they told him our town wasn't big enough for a store. After about nine years of running it, my dad made the store very successful. Then they were suggesting our town was big enough for two stores. So my dad sold it (to another man who knew the risk). After the other Jimmy John's opened less than a mile away, our business was at least cut in half. I worked for the new owner for about a year and then found another job. Sadly, a few months after I quit, the new owner shut down the store, eating his losses. Jimmy John's also doesn't care about their franchisees, but apparently the changed their policy on "clustering" right after the new store was opened in our town because of the huge backlash from franchisees and this policy apparently hurt their ability to sell their brand.

Everyone: they brought the 5$ foot long back lol! Me: the reason why it came back is because food is getting cheaper since farmers can’t find a way to sell the food anymore because schools, and most restaurants are still closed. This means that sourcing materials is now cheaper, so subway might actually be making a profit. Also, notice how they say you have to buy two at a time? Well this is because the profit margin is probably very low, so in order to be able to make enough money to pay rent and stuff, they have to sell two at a time. You probably didn’t read this whole thing but if you did, now you know.

The actual cost of making a footlong sandwich on average in around $2.50, so they are plenty profitable. The issue is they sell far fewer sandwiches than somewhere like McDonalds, which have thinner profit margins but sell way more product. Plus Subway has very strict franchise rules and restrictions which limit the power of its franchisee's to generate revenue.

I think that's the best case for the restaurant owner. You gain enough popularity, people know you, and they go to this place regularly. Then when the license's off, you can open a ripoff where loyal customers and regular customers will still go to the same place and same owner, just a different brand. At least, that's what works for the restaurants at a less crowded place where I live. I don't know if the same should work, let's say on the downtown areas in the cities.

They probably could have kept it going for awhile longer by gradually removing the sandwiches with more expensive ingredients from the five dollar options (perhaps replacing them with new sandwiches that had cheap ingredients) - sort of how the double cheeseburgers were originally on the McDonald's dollar menu and now you can usually only get a single on the dollar menu.

For the people not understanding how the video responded to the title: Note that the title mentions both franchising and the footlong… and that is because Subway’s particular franchise model is what caused the footlong to fail. Not all franchise models work the Subway’s does. As he said in the video, in Subway’s franchise model, the barriers to entry (franchise fee, required space, staff) are all really low - much lower than most other franchise fast foods. That means there are way more people who have the means to open a Subway than a McDonald’s. However, most of the people who have the means to open a Subway don’t have the knowhow to run a Subway. Subway doesn’t care. Subway makes a profit even on failed Subways because the franchise fee, which although small at $15k, is a lot of money considering Subway carries none of the monetary risk in the opening of a new location. So, if the Subway leadership is shortsighted, they may decide to focus on opening more stores, even if the franchisees don’t have what it takes to actually run the Subway well. Kinda like how with a lot of MLMs, new members are the primary source of profit. Of course, a bunch of bad locations will ruin a franchise’s reputation over time (look at Subway’s current reputation), and thus ruin long term profits. But short term, those doomed-to-fail stores made Subway corporate a lot of money. That’s where the $5 footlong comes into play. It was the nail in the coffin for a lot of the mismanaged stores. A poorly run or poorly chosen location isn’t going to have the volume required for the $5 footlong to be profitable. Add inflation, and it’s even harder to make it work. Other franchises, like McDonalds, are much more involved in new locations and carry more risk than Subway. McDonalds’ franchisees have to go through more training than Subway’s, and McDonalds actually owns the land of the location, with the franchisee paying McDonalds corporate rent for the land. So McDonalds, unlike Subway, has no incentive to open doomed locations, since that means no rent payments and that they wasted resources training the potential franchisee. This means McDonalds would never screw franchisees with deals that aren’t economically feasible, like the $5 footlong was for many Subways, because they’d be screwing themselves as well.
