Subway's food quality went down and there are so many locations that franchises are in competition with each other similar to 7-11 who also doesn't own any stores just sells franchises. That alone tells you these aren't that profitable,
I miss the Subway $5. The quality and attention to detail (custom made) has gone really down while prices skyrocketed. What was $5 is now $11 plus they want a tip - and the quantity of food to make the sandwich has gone way down too (soggy limp lettuce and seems like all white ends of tomatoes). Subway for over 20 years, now it is just a don't have a choice.
Same! Those were the days, could get lunch/dinner for 2 for about $10-$15 depending on what all you got. Now you have to pay extra for a normal sandwich :( @@stevenporter863
My local Subway...only one in 25miles is awful. Their hours change like the wind. You never know when "the computer is down" and they won't take coupons or card. On top of that the franchise owner has started to cut corners. Knowing that a Subway franchise cost is relatively low, I wonder if I could just start one and put the other one out of business. Then swoop in and buy that location.
They changed the bread. If you had a jersey mike or Jimmy John or lucky enough to have a publix you won't want a subway nowhere. Jersey mike and Jimmy johns is way better
One important point concerning Subway is that it did not regulate the spacing between locations. This caused major problems. Hopefully the "Subway Series" will get things moving.
@@Muslim-in3nz Unlike other fast food franchisees, Subway did not regulate the distances between locations. As a result, the performance of aome locations suffered to the point that they had to close
Great video! You guys should do one on the travel industry! You could do airlines in all the different areas (Private, Legacy, LCC, ULCC, bankrupt like TWA or Pan Am, etc.). You could do hotel chains like on Hilton, Marriott, Choice, Wyndham, etc. You could also tap into the car rental space like Enterprise or Hertz or Avis! I think these could be really interesting. Could even tap into Uber/Lyft how it impacted the taxi industry. Or Airbnb/Vrbo how it cancelled out Craigslist. So many possibilities!
Unfortunately feeding a family at subway or wherever can be pricy-!!!😳. Being single & retired I might get a to go order once a week-???🤔. 90% of meals consumed come from the kitchen-!!!🤗.
I would say all the restaurants, since covid. What a stupid era. The small independant restaurants in my city decided to open like 11:00 to 19:00 5 days/week. OF COURSE they strugglin and the service quality dropped everywhere. I was always in restaurants but now it's like 2x/week
First Group originally First Bus was a UK bus company publicly owned after the 80s in the UK a managerial buyout occurred following the Bus Transport Sector's privatisation. First Group operated Greyhound Canada, First Student (Massive North American School Bus Company) First Rail, and many acquisitions resulting in a monopoly of some bus operations globally. To date it pulls in billions in revenue and millions in net profit.
@@joshuahill6153 First Group isn't a representative company. They were given and continue to hold a government granted monopoly on services for core business as no one wants 5 different competing bus fleets clogging up downtown Aberdeen. There's been more than a few calls over the decades to revoke them. Then there's all the government money still pumped into them. Every time Scotland announces an initiative for bus fleets what it really means is they're going to be giving First Group millions of dollars to do something. There is a lot of anger over that company in certain circles. They're privatized but the tax payers are still paying them money every year to provide the service they're supposed to be able to run without it. That was the entire point of privatizing it.
Chucky cheese can easily make a big comeback again. 30’s are the new 20’s if you can bring asthetic for the aged fans some new hangout spot better then Dave & Busters people will be lining up for days.
I remeber going there as a kid and not really liking the pizza that much. Now I see videos on youtube and the pizza looks much better than I remembered. I have zero reasons to go to a Chuck E Cheese now to try it though lol
Video: "The 90s, early 2000s was the best era for Chuck. E. Cheese." Me: Laughs in cigarette smoke scented, dark, dirty carpeted, creepy animatronic-ed Gen X.
In the UK Wendy's and Tac Bell were introduced during the 1990s. They were closed down due to poor sales. Happily enough they bounced back in the UK during the 2020s.
I worked at McDonald's and in every class we attend they talk about how McDonald's should always stay ahead of the curve to avoid being outdated and not adopting change resulting to being left behind by competitors. That topic could take half a day.
Most of these places have really gone downhill and are still bad today, at least in my area they are. Applebee's and Subway will never get my business again, Subway skimps on the ingredients now and I refuse to pay extra for my usual order, and last time I ate at Applebee's they served me undercooked chicken, never again!!!
Chuck E Cheese was a arcade that sold pizza in the 80s. It wasn't a restaurant. Most people went there to play games and not eat their expencive pizza geared towards birthday parties.
Ya have to do that at Chipotle too, especially since most of the ones that work there don’t/won’t speak English. We had a local one that has closed a couple of times now for health code violations.
Absolutely. Right about $20+ per foot long meal. I just spent $17 on a ft long turkey and bacon,just the sandwich!!!! I'm positive it's over 20 for a drink and some baked lays
They still struggle because they gave up their business model to outgrow McDonalds. They were growing nicely for many years and selling super cheap but fresh food. Now, they spend more on TV an other advertisments and use cconstant promotions to keep traffic up. Half your money goes to advertising, the other half is product related.
The TGI Fridays near me have massively dwindled in quality. It feels like they suffered from that endless effort at cost cutting and things just keep getting a little bit worse and then it is all a lot worse.
Last decent Friday’s experience I had was probably around 2010 when they had a 3 course deal for $12.99..app, entree and a pretty good cheesecake slice 😂
I used to like going to eat at Quiznos and then after we lost ours, it came down to Subway. Then we felt ripped off as the commercial subs looked nothing like you would get. Then the stories about the quality /freshness of meats, et cetera came into focus. The newer menu items at Subway has been helpful. Bu5 then the franchisees had the option to play along with the specials BOGO. You had the coupon in hand but when you got to front to order, you were told that store didn’t participate. 😡😡😡. Being that we lived in one state and worked in another, it was getting difficult to remember which stores participated and which ones didn’t.. Like every food place in a Mall or a big business like Walmart, Subway, has to keep on top with rent. Had a fave Ma&Pa cake and coffee shop that eventually exited. Rumors flew that Mall was charging them 3x more than some of the stores likeSears or JCP. In actuality, we didn’t go to the mall for JCP., we went to share their latte and sometimes a slice of their cake.
My childhood best friend had her birthday party at Showbiz Pizza, it was probably 88 or 89, even as a 6 or 7 year old I found it disturbingly creepy 😂😂 I hadn't thought about it in decades until seeing this. Probably going to have nightmares about the old animatronic animals 😂😂 I never knew it was a chain , I just thought it was a weird kids place in NJ.
Actually there was a c.e.cheese in a upscale suburb of Buffalo n.y. last I heard the town of Amherst wanted to shut it down as for knife & gun violence at the c.e.c. people would drop their kids off unsupervised like it was a day care.
That Kate Taylor woman has crazy "vocal burn".... "People love the raaaaaaaaaaat". She must be from "El Laaaaaaaaaay". And what's with Business Insider getting their analysis graphics from the vastly superior Company Man channel? I mean, they gave the credit, but....
TGI Friday's. I still remember eating at the Honolulu location at the corner of King St. and Ward Ave. They should have stuck it at Pearl Ridge Center instead.
Never to a Chuck Cheese, probably 15+ years since I was inside an Applebee's or TFI Fridays. Either cook at home or so many better, cheaper and healthier options
Yes, I spent about $2K a year on Subway for my family of six. Getting back to the rejection of the Subway corporate discount coupons, I found out that, unfortunately, the founder died and his wife took the whole corporate apparatus over. She just is not the person, while she has several university degrees, with the skill set that can make the company successful because of lots of confusion and tension with their franchisees.
My husband and I ate at Applebee's and we both got so sick that we ended up in the ER with food poisoning. We shared a appetizer of artichoke dip and chips and I had chicken and pasta and hubby had a steak so most likely it was the dip that made us sick. We called the Corp office and they pretty much just blew us off and sent us free meal vouchers as if we would ever go back and eat there again.
That Subway revamp didn't really make it to the Hampton Roads area (Norfolk, VA & surrounding cities) - there has never been any touchscreen ordering, or wifi, or USB plugs, or music - only new furniture. The cheesy garlic bread gimmick lasted only a month before being pulled (it was delicious!), the chibata sandwiches left after a few years, and there were never Halo Top milkshakes anywhere - which is a shame, because I love that brand of ice cream!
For me it' All comes down to cost been the biggest point but with that health to subway for example I could not even tell you the last time I went I no a lot of people saying that in uk it's just too expensive when you have so many cheaper options if they had cheaper deals or reduce the prices I go back right away.
Tgi Friday is a story about a single man and woman that met and then got married, they stopped doing the swingers life and just focusing on being married and eating good food.
I live in New Zealand I used to go to subway until I got food poisoning from eating subway. Never went to that subway store again. I go across town to a different one it smelled better than the other one, I have never got sick from my new subway store.
Last time I went to Subway (Europe) was like years after I had stopped going. It was bad. The food was subpar, and the guy making the sandwich gave the impression he'd rather be doing anything else. Didn't care at all.
13:39 wasn't that due to a copyright issue given that showbiz animatronics was owned by someone other than the company? so they can't use it anymore and just decided to reskin it into chuck and crew?
Well the TGI Fridays where I live was next to a stupid club for years. That club no longer exist but heard had changed to another sleezier establishment which may not exist anymore. So, that makes sense. I didn't know the history of TGI Fridays. But, my experience with their food was far from great so nothing to miss. I do like the name TGI Friday's though.
I was gonna say “$400 k” a year isn’t much. I remember our local, small town grocery store making about $1.5 Million per year (and that was about a decade ago).
I quit doing business with Subway after spending at least $2000 a year for 15 years. Why? Because they do NOT accept their own discount coupons that their Corporate sends out. I haven't bought a Subway since before the COVID-19 pandemic. They still send me totally worthless discounts every week via US Mail. I throw them in the trash heap. I now vote with my dollars at Jimmy Johns and love it! No bait and switch BS there.
@@Private-wj4nd Subway has really got outta hand on their prices going up, up, always up. I heard Subway is in big trouble financially. Thankfully, I don't have to drive far. I have two Jimmy Johns within a mile of my home. I get a better sub from them but it is a bit more money. Then again, Joe B. says we are running only 2% inflation but it feels like 32%! Do you notice that too?
Subway be automatically tipping themselves to even when they already have a tipping jar. I went to a subway and order a sub to go and the guy told me the total and I paid with card and when I got home that's when I realize the employee tipped himself with my card because it said tip and showed the amount. He charged me 63 dollars and I called and complained about it and they deny it so I had to file a chargeback to get my money back on my card.
1 sandwich every day for 1/2 the year and you stopped ging because they made you spend $3 more a couple times? Seems petty to me, Karen, but it's your own choice.
I've long since stopped going to subway because their food quality went down while their prices skyrocketed. They've wiped out a huge portion of their customer base by raising prices. The fact that they're still doing well suggests to me that its their franchises losing money rather than actual corporate.
I remember before Chuck E. Cheese merged with ShowBiz Pizza. Interesting history, ShowBIZ and CEC were started by friends turned rivals. And then ShowBiz beat CEC when one friend, also owner of ShowBiz's parent company, bought out a bankrupt CEC and then merged the brands through the latter half of the 1980s onward, slowly rebranding all stores as Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza. ShowBiz's dity was 'where a kid can be a kid'. That was in CEC commercials from the late 1980s through sometime in the 1990s. I don't think it's still used. / former ShowBiz Pizza kid history's lesson.
We have a really good subway nearby, the owners are very nice. I like them a lot. The coupons let you get a footlong for around 7 dollars and its a good deal of you load ot up with vegetables and things
I just wish the mobile app would indicate which Subways are participants. Not all are. Sucks to get up front and find out that’s one of the Subways that don’t participate!!!
I don't think your opinion can be trusted if you don't realize Applebees has been a disaster for over 2 decades at this point. All these brands are well past their prime and it is pretty obvious... I'd say they are all still declining not "coming back"
Chuck E Cheese definitely was the go to birthday spot or just a great place I wanted to go to growing up from 6-11 years old. Subway is still terrible at most locations I got sick a few times stop eating them in 2016 and just recently had it, it was much better than I could remember. TGI Fridays has always been terrible I’ve never had a good food experience there. It was a great hang out place when I lived in a small town in Virginia other than that I will avoid them at all cost.
The one sandwich I like was discotinued about twenty years ago. Barbcuebeef. The ony one I liked. There someI Like, but can't eat to thick for me, bread tto dry.
I love BK Chicken Fries. I only had subway maybe 2008 to 2012. I usually make my own sandwiches. Also, the subway in my area closed years ago. I had chuck e cheese maybe twice as a kid. I think we want to tgif a few times in 1990s. I think we went to applebees 2 times in 1990s.
In California at least I refuse to go into a subway unless I really have to. Rude AF ppl who pretend not to speak English who wanna put 3 olives and a sliver of avocado on the sandwiches.
Just avoid the subway chicken and steak. Their breakfast egg cheese and bacon breakfast sub is delicious though. They don't usually mess that up as far as bad ingredients.
Forgot one of the big things about Chuck E. Cheese’s downfall. Chuck E. Cheese’s had also unfortunately became a place where all out brawls seem to occur

Leveraged buy outs seem to kill a lot of businesses. I'd like to see which companies actually benefitted from private equity
Founders are happy to get a payout. In my own experience private equity might come out with a small profit before driving the company to the ground.

I live in New Zealand I used to go to subway until I got food poisoning from eating subway. Never went to that subway store again. I go across town to a different one it smelled better than the other one, I have never got sick from my new subway store.
For me Subway is no go ever since they got rid of their pastrami.
Company man did it better.
Sock my caulk
Last time I went to Subway (Europe) was like years after I had stopped going. It was bad. The food was subpar, and the guy making the sandwich gave the impression he'd rather be doing anything else. Didn't care at all.
Applebee's is dark & sticky; their tablet menu is oily & sticky, & the weird table set up + carpet choice, feels like being in a pedo's camper van
Show Biz. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Friday's had a spot in Tampa International Airport for several years.
I wonder if it's still there?
13:39 wasn't that due to a copyright issue given that showbiz animatronics was owned by someone other than the company? so they can't use it anymore and just decided to reskin it into chuck and crew?
Well the TGI Fridays where I live was next to a stupid club for years. That club no longer exist but heard had changed to another sleezier establishment which may not exist anymore. So, that makes sense. I didn't know the history of TGI Fridays. But, my experience with their food was far from great so nothing to miss. I do like the name TGI Friday's though.
Dude! Fogel was sent to prison for a child sex scandal. Can't believe your report totally ignored this!
I was gonna say “$400 k” a year isn’t much.
I remember our local, small town grocery store making about $1.5 Million per year (and that was about a decade ago).
Subway became famous when Fogel saw his man hood again
Plus the customer experience in certain areas in NY ......ran for the hills, your food is compromise.
12:01 Dave and busters is the best of them all.
I quit doing business with Subway after spending at least $2000 a year for 15 years. Why? Because they do NOT accept their own discount coupons that their Corporate sends out. I haven't bought a Subway since before the COVID-19 pandemic. They still send me totally worthless discounts every week via US Mail. I throw them in the trash heap. I now vote with my dollars at Jimmy Johns and love it! No bait and switch BS there.
I love Jimmy Johns too but they’re 30 minutes away. I like Firehouse too. Last time I ate Firehouse it was cheaper than Subway.
@@Private-wj4nd Subway has really got outta hand on their prices going up, up, always up. I heard Subway is in big trouble financially. Thankfully, I don't have to drive far. I have two Jimmy Johns within a mile of my home. I get a better sub from them but it is a bit more money. Then again, Joe B. says we are running only 2% inflation but it feels like 32%! Do you notice that too?
You spent $2000 a year on subway 😂 dude
Subway be automatically tipping themselves to even when they already have a tipping jar. I went to a subway and order a sub to go and the guy told me the total and I paid with card and when I got home that's when I realize the employee tipped himself with my card because it said tip and showed the amount. He charged me 63 dollars and I called and complained about it and they deny it so I had to file a chargeback to get my money back on my card.
1 sandwich every day for 1/2 the year and you stopped ging because they made you spend $3 more a couple times? Seems petty to me, Karen, but it's your own choice.
Subway seafood salad was amazing when I was a kid. Even the cheesesteak seemed good. They should have never gotten rid of the seafood salad.
I hardly go to subway Way its way to expensive and a lot of people are saying McDonald's is getting expensive too
I've long since stopped going to subway because their food quality went down while their prices skyrocketed. They've wiped out a huge portion of their customer base by raising prices. The fact that they're still doing well suggests to me that its their franchises losing money rather than actual corporate.
I eat work lunches at the nearby Chuck E Cheese because it's a rumble arena for local low income adults.
Who would have imagined that Chuck e cheese would become violent place?
Why is that lady sticking to the vocal fry like that
THANK YOU! it's driving me crazy
I really miss $5 foot longs. My last Subway footlong cost almost $20!
I remember before Chuck E. Cheese merged with ShowBiz Pizza. Interesting history, ShowBIZ and CEC were started by friends turned rivals. And then ShowBiz beat CEC when one friend, also owner of ShowBiz's parent company, bought out a bankrupt CEC and then merged the brands through the latter half of the 1980s onward, slowly rebranding all stores as Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza. ShowBiz's dity was 'where a kid can be a kid'. That was in CEC commercials from the late 1980s through sometime in the 1990s. I don't think it's still used.
/ former ShowBiz Pizza kid history's lesson.
We have a really good subway nearby, the owners are very nice. I like them a lot. The coupons let you get a footlong for around 7 dollars and its a good deal of you load ot up with vegetables and things
I just wish the mobile app would indicate which Subways are participants. Not all are. Sucks to get up front and find out that’s one of the Subways that don’t participate!!!
I don't think your opinion can be trusted if you don't realize Applebees has been a disaster for over 2 decades at this point. All these brands are well past their prime and it is pretty obvious... I'd say they are all still declining not "coming back"
Chuck E Cheese definitely was the go to birthday spot or just a great place I wanted to go to growing up from 6-11 years old. Subway is still terrible at most locations I got sick a few times stop eating them in 2016 and just recently had it, it was much better than I could remember. TGI Fridays has always been terrible I’ve never had a good food experience there. It was a great hang out place when I lived in a small town in Virginia other than that I will avoid them at all cost.
The one sandwich I like was discotinued about twenty years ago. Barbcuebeef. The ony one I liked. There someI
Like, but can't eat to thick for me, bread tto dry.
The amount of vocal fry in that one chick was unbelievable.
I love BK Chicken Fries.
I only had subway maybe 2008 to 2012. I usually make my own sandwiches.
Also, the subway in my area closed years ago.
I had chuck e cheese maybe twice as a kid.
I think we want to tgif a few times in 1990s.
I think we went to applebees 2 times in 1990s.
The subways in my city didn't change the insides at all
In California at least I refuse to go into a subway unless I really have to. Rude AF ppl who pretend not to speak English who wanna put 3 olives and a sliver of avocado on the sandwiches.
Watching From Chicago IL USA 😎
The chili at Wendy's been there since the 1980s so they didn't just bring it in for healthy reasons
When the narrator says Dine Brands, I hear dying brands.
I guess heavily chlorinated vegetables are a lot healthier than a big Mac
I miss their classic wedge cut... from time when ingredients were actually fresh...
For the whole Chuck E Cheese segment, I can only see Freddy's and hear MatPat's FNAF video. A GAME THEORY!!!!!
Publix makes great sandwiches.
The girl talking about subway has the worst vocal fry.
Just avoid the subway chicken and steak. Their breakfast egg cheese and bacon breakfast sub is delicious though. They don't usually mess that up as far as bad ingredients.
I have had luck with the salami so far but all my experiences with subway have been in germany so maybe that should be taken into consideration.
Potbelly is so much better. Subway is the place you go if there are no other options.
Forgot one of the big things about Chuck E. Cheese’s downfall. Chuck E. Cheese’s had also unfortunately became a place where all out brawls seem to occur
