Any Subway Owners Care to Provide Input on the Business?

[David Avetisyan]

I'm considering investing money in different avenues, and one being the purchase of a Subway franchise to supplement income.

I have always had subway on my mind, and I feel now, given all things, it wouldn't be a bad idea. 

Any thoughts from existing owners, more specifically in LA?

The consensus that I got was Subway was opening to many restaurants in close proximity to each other and the franchisees were cannibalizing each others profits.

 James,

Thanks for the reply.

I know that Subway, unlike most franchise companies, does not restrict the number of stores it opens within proximity to one another. This is actually it's biggest downfall - IMO.

I know that typically, like other franchise fast-food chains, you need to own, about, three, to see some reason income. 

I'm having g a hard time locating local owners to discuss the business.

To your success
