I've always loved Subway's rolls. I always thought they tasted so fresh and I love walking in and seeing my choices right in front of me. The ham, turkey, shredded lettuce, tomatoes, and more.

Subway made a statement to cnn.com saying: "Subway pointed toward its international net growth for the second consecutive year with the chain now totaling 37,000 locations globally. And it keeps taking a closer look at its US footprint using a “using a strategic, data-driven approach to ensure restaurants are in the right location, image and format and operated by the right franchisees.” Subway also said: “opening new restaurants as well as relocating or closing locations as needed, to ensure a consistent, high-quality and convenient guest experience.”

Subway recently unveiled a new store design with “added brand personality and vibrant décor elements” including localized flourishes and improved seating. Subway also intends to bring back some of their favorite deals this summer, so be on the look-out for them.

Subway's most popular deal - the $6.99 on any footlong is a deal right now. I always get the turkey, ham, cheese, shredded lettuce, tomato, a little bit of vinegar and mayonnaise. So delicious! Ok, throw on some pepper.
