Subway Says A Staggering TEN THOUSAND Folks Signed Up To Legally Change Their Names To 'Subway' To Receive Free Sandwiches For Life. 

"Fast food restaurant Subway announced that a staggering ten thousand super fans signed up to legally change their first names to 'Subway' to receive free sandwiches for life.

Subway announced the overwhelming response to its Name Change Challenge on Tuesday and revealed that in just 96 hours, thousands of Subway super fans signed up. A lucky winner will be named later this month.

The person selected will not only get a lifetime of Subway sandwiches but will also get reimbursed for the legal and processing costs for the name change.

The promotion that was first announced on July 26 ran from August 1 through August 4. It follows the debut of the restaurant's first-ever offering of freshly sliced meats in United States restaurants, as well as a reboot of the rest of its menu.

The menu will include a collection of new deli hero subs to their Subway Series menu. 

'Subway brand love and dedication run deep, especially when free sandwiches are up for grabs,' according to a company press release. 

'In 2022, one superfan camped out for two days to get a footlong tattoo of the Subway Series logo in exchange for free Subway for life. Now, the addition of freshly sliced meats at Subway, showcased on its new Deli Hero subs, is inspiring a whole new level of passion.'

Subway said this is the company's third year for their 'multiyear transformation journey.' In 2021, the retailer did an overhaul of its pantry of ingredients and in 2022 unveiled their Subway Series.

Their latest update is described as Subway's 'most complex' and $80 million investment which included bringing deli meat slicers to more than 20,000 US restaurants over the course of nine months to get ready for this summer's debut. 

Over the past year, Subway's culinary team worked on crafting recipes for its Deli Hero subs that include the Titan Turkey (#15), Grand Slam Ham (#99), Garlic Roast Beef (#17) and The Beast (#30) – also piled high with double cheese.

The company that was founded in 1965 by Fred DeLuca, who was 17-years-old at the time. Subway Inc. is still owned and operated by the DeLuca family.

The company is headquartered in Shelton, Connecticut and has more than 37,000 restaurants in over 100 countries. Each Subway franchise is independently owned and operated, as per investopedia.com.

According to multiple media reports, Subway is in the process of finding a buyer, most likely a private equity firm, NBC News reported. 

 Reuters reported last week that the fast food chain could get as much as $9 billion and that any sale would be completed by the end of August, the news outlet reported." - www.dailymail.co.uk/
