Subway $5 footlong promotion

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Subway $5 footlong promotion is a promotion by the fast food restaurant chain Subway, which was launched in the United States in 2008 by offering footlong (30 cm) submarine sandwiches for US$5. Coinciding with the Great Recession, the promotion has been very successful for the chain, having spawned competitors to make similar moves to cut prices to attract customers. The promotion also helped start an ongoing trend of round price points on consumer goods. It was written by James Harned at tonefarmer.
