The place I used to work at provided financing to a lot of Subway franchisees, some of which had dozens of them. A lot of them struggled a ton during 2015, mostly because the breakfast rollout was a massive bust and the Fogel stuff didn't help. We were speaking with one of the largest operators about restructuring the debt and he told us that while he couldn't share specifics, they were expecting an ad campaign to roll out shortly after the New Year that Subway corp thought would completely revitalize business. When I saw what they came up with, I laughed a lot.
