Re: New Subway store!!!!
 

So your getting a Subway instead of a charity shop. Thats a good deal isn't it?
Mc Donalds are exellent quality and very very clean as are subway, the kitchens are open you can see how clean they are.
Mc Donalds have also added a lot of new products and improved old ones since supersize me. There were no salads or baguettes back then, no apples and no carrot sticks or milk.

Gayle is right of course, these are key national stores, they encourage other nationals, which you want a certain amount of in Accrington. They do this because companies know that they encourage families into the town. Kids like fasr food as a treat, you can't get away from that fact, and parents will take them where those outlets are, even if it meant travelling to blackburn.
I'm trying to get a Mc Donalds here but no one will listen :(

Guess the UK McDonalds libel trial had some positive effects , pity it didn't get the same media coverage it deserved here in the US , Here McDonalds are still serving up the same super-sized junk

Re: New Subway store!!!!
 

Madhatter - you know aswell as anyone that carrott sticks & apple pieces aren't desirable for the kids; they're only there to keep the Food Standards Agency happy.

I'm sorry but to me with these stores, whatever size their products are; it's all commercial plastic junk that makes towns look bland & lifeless.

Re: New Subway store!!!!
 

Desirable to me though, I love carrot sticks.
They are what they are Shakermaker, an I think You see that better than anyone on here. They are fast food, not what I'd class as real food. You do need real food outlets too. They may be bland and lifeless but they attract people, but not if all you've got is Mc ds and a subway, you need other shops too.
I always think of them as plastic stores, you expect them, but don't really respect them.

Re: New Subway store!!!!
 

LOL thats cos we respect ourselves and don't wanna gorge ourselves on supersized junk everyday. It's all about customer demand, not libel. If stuff doesn't sell, they stop stocking it, simple as. Quite a few things have gone off the menu here.
Salads might not be as popular as a bic mac but they are popular as are the baguettes.
I like a chicken ranch salad with a nice cup of tea, or a chicken baguette with a cuppa.
Also nice is a side salad with vinegarette dressing and chicken nuggets.

I worked at McDonalds for two weeks. It was unbelievably clean and their hygiene [sp?] was fantastic. Its suprising how they keep on top of the cleaning etc.

You will be suprised!!

Re: New Subway store!!!!
 

wahay just seen where they're building the new store - its in a good place - wud've worked better on broadway but its all good

Re: New Subway store!!!!
 

Can I destroy it on the accrington flight sim though?

Re: New Subway store!!!!
 

i dont think it exists yet

Re: New Subway store!!!!
 

To be perfectly honest I don't think McDonalds is in the same league as Subway.....Subway serve fresh healthy sandwiches...McDonalds is just fatty greasy junk food. Has no one ever looked under the paper place mats and looked at their meal's content... it's kind of unreal... and I couldn't actually believe my it when I heard a couple of girls were suing McDonalds for making them obese...and won...that is the most stupid thing i've ever heard.

Mc D's served salads in Spain way back in the 80's.........I know because I used to take my Ma in there for a garden salad with Marie Rose sauce on it.......it was the only thing I would eat from their establishment.

Re: New Subway store!!!!
 

If you know the slightest detail of the process of producing the 'greasy' burgers at McDonalds (which im taking it you dont) you would know that all the excess 'grease/fat' whatever you wish to call it, is drained before being placed for the customer.

So thats one 100% Beef, drained of fat and grease burger. Thanks. :D

I would agrue that 'Subway' is far to overpriced for what you get. Its probably cheaper to buy a loaf of bread, a whole chicken breast and a fresh salad from th'Asda than buy a Chicken 'Roll' at Subway.

Valid point. I believe Subway have their 'fresh' rolls delivered boxed up, frozen from a depot, probably some day journey in the back of a van away. Which is then heated in the microwave to be served 'freshly' to the paying customer.

So thats one frozen, re-heated chicken sandwitch served on a previously hard, now gone soggy roll. Thanks. :D

Re: New Subway store!!!!
 

subway also chuck the meat into the microwave as well as the roll

dont get me wrong after a few pints it tastes better than a kebab but as a rule i dont eat microwaved food especialy meat

unless drunk as stated above :-)
