Indians were probably lurking here 20 years ago, and took that lucrative career opportunity from you.

and what a huge boon that has been for the subway brand over that timeframe.

if you had managed to buy 3 or 4 subways franchises 15 years ago I think you'd probably be sitting pretty, it's six figures of pretty reliable income for sitting on your ass if it isn't in a terrible location doomed to fail

Subway has been struggling for the past 15 years. If you bought 15 years ago, you likely also struggled more or less.

idk man even shit locations that manage to stay open have to be producing 100k, the franchise expanded massively into a million markets where you could add up the failure and it would hurt corporate, but subways in expected places seem to keep going

My understanding is that the big problem with Subway is that they were so desperate for additional franchise revenue that they let new franchises open up anywhere, including right next door to existing franchises. If you're in a good location with no other franchises nearby, you're probably doing okay. But most Subway franchises have 3-4 other Subway franchises within a two-block radius.

that may be the case with subway in particular, but we represented a franchisee lender many years ago and had to review an enormous amount of bullshit as a junior associate and at that time you almost couldn't lose money, a bad fast food place was still netting you a fair bit of money and the owners don't manage shit

Yeah, most franchise restaurants won't let you open a new franchise within a close proximity of an existing franchise because they want to protect the existing franchise owners. But Subway lets you open anywhere that you want, so the different franchise owners all end up cannibalizing each other's sales.

TINTCR, Subway has been in severe decline for two decades now, as usual XO encouraged buying at the top. That same money in broad base index funds would have been much better, without the hassle of managing a fucking Subway (let alone 3 or 4 of them)

Guys, I know we love to joke around here but stay the fuck away from Subway franchises. They are horrible businesses where you put in 250k to make 45k as a fucking owner operator. In the post Covid world, people don't want to work for $8 an hour any more and their business model collapsed. Tons of these "long time" locations are closing.

I looked at being a franchisee years ago and it was lol what a bad deal it was. Also represented one of these franchisees who managed to scrape together a chain of locations, only to have his company disintegrate in his hands when labor costs rose. He sold his whole chain of like 8 locations for the price of a fucking car.
