you gotta be kidding me - you must live in the middle of nowhere if you don't have at least one Italian mom and pop pizza/sandwich shop that makes a meatball sandwich that laughs at that Subway meatball sub

comparing a McDonalds restaurant to a Subway shop is ridiculous - a Subway franchise costs about $100K - McDonalds close to $1-2M depending on the size of the city and you need 25% of that upfront in cash, unencumbered cash - they don't want people who have to borrow or mortgage to put up $250-500K.

i just googled, that 25% increases to 40% if you want to build a brand new restaurant, 25% is for buying an existing restaurant.

i eat it because there literally was a Subway shop 300 yards from my front door but i'm not a Subway fan
