![]() Even till the day I left (which was about 7-8 months ago now), people still asked for 5$ footlongs. Working at Subway for 5.5 years, I was a manager as well. One or two stores in the area are going to get all the money, causing the other stores to close. And if everyone who goes to subway, does that. Cannibalism of stores is a thing!! If theres 5 subways in one location, youre going to find the best one of those stores and eat from there. Always has been that way and always will be. The owner of my subways actually had to close one of her locations because she wasnt making money at all from it, that store had been draining the other three stores for almost 3 years. One of the owners, my subway owner knew, he had 15+ subways opened across the way. ( i forget what word or phrase im trying to think of) but you get what I mean. And each and everyone of them could end up having a Subway in them, just because theres no protection against others from opening up closely to another one. So there could be a Fresh strip mall waiting to have all of its places filled. Mind you, theres no limit to how many Subways you can open in a location. The owner of mine owned 4 locations, all within a 15 minute radius of eachother. Most franchisees own more than ONE Subway. It’s how I got around my local subway not accepting coupons.Įven the Subway owner I worked for was a prime example of this. The other locations will soon be closed.Ĭaveat: if a location doesn’t accept coupons, put in an online order that has a digital coupon and the location has to make it. The chains that accept coupons are thriving because the coupons put the subs in a price range that the public is willing to pay for a Subway sub. Subway is the McDonald’s of subs and people want to go there but they don’t want to pay $9. If Im going to pay $9 or $10 for a sandwich/sub it’s going to be from a quality sub place. About 1,000 locations have been closing every year since 2015 in the United States alone. Subway killed themselves with the $5 footlong deal and until they come back with something similar sales will continue to decline. When the $5 went away and then eventually even the BOGO free footlong went away sales dropped and thousands of stores close every year. This caused locations to cannibalize each other’s profits. To the point where subway had more locations than ANY FAST FOOD CHAIN in the world. All the locations were profitable so a bunch of franchise stores started popping up literally everywhere. When the $5 footlong deal came out everyone started buying subs and sales increased like freaking crazy. Subway used to be any old sub chain with an average number of stores. ![]()

The bridge option would allow for two dedicated lanes for bus rapid transit (BRT), in keeping with HRM's regional planning goal of increasing public transit use. The report suggested either a six-lane bridge, costing $1.1 billion, or a four-lane tunnel, costing $1.4 billion, from the southern terminus of the Circumferential Highway to the CN Rail cut on peninsular Halifax. The report shows that cross-harbour traffic is nearing the capacity of the existing two bridges, and concluded that a third harbour crossing would be required by 2016–2026. In February 2008, consultants McCormick Rankin Corporation of Halifax released a report on the need for a third harbour crossing, commissioned by the HDBC. Because of vehicle weight limits, the MacKay Bridge is the only crossing that commercial trucks can use to cross the harbour. The bridge feeds into Highway 111, the Circumferential Highway. It is located to the north of the Macdonald Bridge, at the Narrows of Halifax Harbour. Murray MacKay Bridge, known locally as the MacKay Bridge or the "new bridge", was opened on July 10, 1970. Today, the province appoints five bridge commissioners, while the Halifax Regional Municipality appoints four. The municipalities around Halifax Harbour were amalgamated in 1996. In March 2009, the commission launched its current operating name, Halifax Harbour Bridges, as well as an updated logo. Later, two additional provincially appointed commissioners were added to the board's composition. The bridge commission held its first meeting in January 1951. The cities of Halifax and Dartmouth each appointed two commissioners, while the Halifax County Municipality appointed one. Three commissioners, including the chairman and secretary, were appointed by the provincial government. The Halifax-Dartmouth Bridge Commission was created by provincial statue on 6 December 1950. The commission's toll rates are approved by the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board. The commission has nine board members, five of whom are appointed by the provincial government, including the chair and vice-chair the Halifax Regional Municipality appoints four councillors to the remaining seats on the board. The Commission reports to the Minister of Finance and the Nova Scotia Cabinet approves the Commission's financing. The commission is responsible for constructing, operating, and maintaining two suspension bridges that cross Halifax Harbour between the communities of Halifax and Dartmouth. ![]() It currently operates under a new statute passed in 2005 named the Halifax-Dartmouth Bridge Commission Act.

Many of the concepts as well as art assets were based on those previously published in the physical World of Warcraft Trading Card Game. The game was designed to avoid the pitfalls of other digital collectible card games by eliminating any possible plays from an opponent during a player's turn and by replicating the feel of a physical card game within the game's user interface. In contrast to other games developed by Blizzard, Hearthstone was an experimental game developed by a smaller team based on the appreciation of collectible card games at the company. New content for the game involves the addition of new card sets and gameplay, taking the form of either expansion packs or adventures that reward the player with collectible cards upon completion. The game features several modes of play, including casual and ranked matches, drafted arena battles, and single-player adventures. Players can then buy packs of new cards through gold or microtransactions to customize and improve their decks. Winning matches and completing quests earn in-game gold, rewards in the form of new cards, and other in-game prizes.
