Subway Intent on Overthrowing McDonalds
There are currently 26,000 Subway eateries in the U.S.
But according to Subway CEO Fred DeLuca, there is always room for more. DeLuca recently announced that he believes that there is room for another 8,000 Subways in the U.S.
"Maybe it will take 10 years or so," he commented. "If we do a good job building consumer demand, that number might change and be higher."
