5. About thetopic
Subway has expanded with numerous stores, healthier diet options in the
menu, partnership with several association and organizations promoting
health consciousness, customizing the menu options and offering low
franchising cost. One of the unique propositions of subway is to use only
fresh ingredients in the food it prepares in front of the customers and
offering customized food rather than prepared food based on fixed menu.
Subway has used nontraditional channels to expand and develop
awareness about its brand equity among the customers.

6. Conclusion
The low franchising cost comparing to the competitors is one of the major
factors behind the successof the subway fast food chain. However the cost
of ingredients and supplies used in the preparation of food is higher than
that of competitiondue to the need for freshingredients. Customers have a
perceived value which is higher than that of the productofferings of
alternate fast food chains
