Subway really wants you to try its new freshly sliced deli meats – so it’s giving away up to 1 million 6-inch subs on Tuesday, July 11.
To get one of the free sandwiches, go to a participating Subway location from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.local time on Tuesday. You can choose a 6-inch sub from the fast-food franchise’s new Deli Heroes lineup, a quartet of sammies harkening back to classic deli subs.
The new sandwiches highlight the chain’s $80 million-plus investment in new deli meat slicers, which were gifted to all Subway franchisees and have been installed in 20,000 restaurants, the company said in a press release.

Why is Subway giving away free sandwiches?
It’s a good way to reward longtime fans and attract new customers – and perhaps lure back lapsed ones. In addition to deploying deli slicers, Subway has updated more than 10,000 restaurants in North America “with a fresh look and feel,” the company said, and “continues to roll out enhancements to its digital experience to make online ordering easier and faster.”
“Over the past two years, we overhauled our expansive pantry of ingredients and debuted a whole new way to Subway with chef-crafted signature sandwiches,” said Trevor Haynes, Subway’s president for North America, in the news release. “This year’s changes are even bigger and more transformational. … We can’t wait for America to taste the difference and see how far we have come on our journey.”
Another factor: Subway is on the auction block. Back in February, the company posted a note to investors saying “its shareholders are exploring a possible sale of the company. There is no indication of timing or assurance that a sale will occur.”
The company wants to keep its two-year turnaround going. Subway saw a 9.2% increase in global same-store sales in 2022, compared to 2021, Subway reported in February. The company trimmed its number of stores from about 44,000 to 37,000.
Sales in North America, where 17,000 Subways are located, rose 7.8%. So far, this year those trends continue with North America sales up 11.7% and digital sales up 21.2%, the company says.
Subway’s continued success could push the privately-held company’s price tag to about $10 billion, according to The Wall Street Journal.
That’s a lot of subs – and a bag of chips.
