The
Subway at 4921 Elm Street has closed. Another Subway location at 7201 Wisconsin Avenue near Modell's remains open for business. The Elm Street Subway has been quickly stripped of signage. Subway announced earlier this year it would be closing 500 stores nationwide, as the sandwich chain lost business while stiffing customers by no longer offering the $5 Footlong sandwich deal.

My colon has been looking forward to this.
The issue is Subway locations are mostly (if not all) owned by franchisees, and Subway corporate was granting franchises in locations too close to the other franchise -- cannibalizing each other's business.
The no-carbs/gluten-free trend doesn't help either of course.
The two Subways in downtown Bethesda are less than one-quarter mile apart. That's ridiculous. Wasn't there another one nearby until recently?
I'm sure Starbucks will go the same way soon. A quarter-century they brought gourmet coffee to the masses. Since then they've just turned coffee into yet another sugary, fatty soft drink, served in disposable cups to go.

Time to cull the herd.
Subway's bread is made of the same material used to make yoga mats, so I've never eaten there.
Taylor Gourmet was the bigger loss...where to go for a sandwich on Bethesda Row?
I love these daily dispatches from Bethesda!
