Leading the way
Subway is the leading sandwich chain in the U.S., its systemwide sales being more than three times that of its closest competitor Arby’s. The second largest sandwich chain, Arby’s, accounted for sales that amounted to approximately 3.89 billion U.S. dollars in 2018. Subway isn't just a giant among sandwich shops - it also accounted for some of the highest sales in the whole QSR industry ranking amongst big players such as Starbucks and Burger King. Unsurprisingly, the king of quick service, McDonald’s placed first on the list with U.S. systemwide sales of over 38 and a half billion U.S. dollars in 2018.
Units decline
Along with a decline in U.S. sales comes a decrease in the number of Subway stores in the United States over the past two years. While Subway had approximately 27 thousand stores in the U.S. in 2015 the figure scraped to just about 24.8 thousand in 2018.
