Several National Sandwich Chains Pick Up The Slack As Subway Falters

As the fortunes of customizable sandwich giant Subway continue downward, other sandwich chains are rushing in to capture the attention of Subway’s former customers. All are a testament to the durability of the sandwich, and its components: meat, cheese, veggies and condiments stuffed between two slices of bread.  Among the Subway (and local sub shop) competitors that have emerged recently (in the Sacramento, Calif., area and elsewhere) are Which Wich (Texas), Jersey Mike’s (N.J.), and Jimmy John’s (Ill.). Each offers a slightly different spin on the customizable sandwich formula. Nation's Restaurant News labeled Jersey Mike’s the fastest-growing chain of 2015.
