Shakermaker u need to get your facts right as in fact every Subway has to stick to strict standards and regulations which includes all the offers, promo`s etc, as they r all independently run by franchisees.

Why would a brand new store not have an "up to date menu" ?? I would much rather go to somewhere like Subway where you know the hygiene and food standards are excellent, and you know exactly what u r getting.

I recently went to stratford upon avon and the town is full of chains but is absolutely thriving so at the end of the day this is supply and demand, what woukd we rather an old run down town with a few struggling privately owned shops or investment in the town that is providing jobs for the community??

Lets see nice big ranch or steaak bake and vannilla slice uuuuuummmmmmm think it would be the ranch with a coke. Whats wrong with having an alternative to Greggs and Oddies? As for Mcdonalds well I have eaten the baguettes and think they are over priced.

Re: New Subway store!!!!
 

Because the small store wouldn't have the stock space that the one in Burnley has for example; offers & promotions would run out extremely quickly - just what happens in the Accy McD's & the Accy KFC.

err...what's wrong with taking your own buttie to work instead munching on a minging grease packed sandwich.

It annoys my that in an age where we are aware of all the health risks around - a privilege unknown by generations before us - that councils are allowing this crap to be served as 'food' in our town & aiding the gross obesity we are beginning to see in a large percentage of our youth.

Re: New Subway store!!!!
 

Subway is quite good for you providing you eat the right thing, they specificly state the healthy foods on menus and things inside too.

Its not aiding gross obesity cause some guy did the 'Subway Challenge' type thing (Like mcdonalds supersize me) and lost an awfull lot of weight (although admitidly he exercised too) but the point is its pretty healthy providing you don't pick meatballs with extra cheese every single time you visit ;)

Re: New Subway store!!!!
 

'Pretty healthy' compared to McDonald's is really not saying much.:rolleyes:
& that Subway challenge only proves that Subways products are full of empty calories, thus not good for you!

Re: New Subway store!!!!
 

We don't really care which minger you are munching at lunch time ;)

Re: New Subway store!!!!
 

Speak for yourself Neil!

Re: New Subway store!!!!
 

Meh I just believe in choice, we don't have to go to subway or mcdonalds if we don't want... but then again there has to be a balance...
E.g. At the moment I have a choice if I go in to poundland or not, but if I continue to do that then eventualy I won't be able to go in to any shops in accrington as they're all going to end up as such shops..

I don't think i've explained that very well :p

Re: New Subway store!!!!
 

What on earth did that that mean mate ;)

Re: New Subway store!!!!
 

That's the case until people get addicted to this crap. (as proved by morgan spurlock)


I see what you're trying to say & I agree, & that is the danger that our town faces.
No, not that I agree with you - that all the shops in Accy are going to turn out taccy, bland, and an overwhelming eyesore. Poundland, Poundstretcher, poundshrinker...it's like Laurence Llewellyn Bowen's hall of fame.

Re: New Subway store!!!!
 

If you can get addicted to fast food then I am addicted to the hot cooked chicken from Supermarkets. At the end of the day if you vary were you go for a sarnie burger takeaway etc then it shouldnt do you any harm if its in mderation.

Re: New Subway store!!!!
 

Reference Starbucks.....why would you want to pay so much for a cup of coffee? Especially those sickly sweet things with the whipped cream!

Re: New Subway store!!!!
 

The new Subway shop is going to be situated in Union Street where the now defunct Sue Ryder shop used to be.

Re: New Subway store!!!!
 

I don't know about over here, but in Oz they are very health conscious and they state which of their products is low calorie, low fat etc....so at the end of the day, it is down to taste and choice.

Re: New Subway store!!!!
 

I'm looking forward to it.
Its good fresh food, gives us more choice and helps keep Accy busy.
