Subway is going back to typical delicatessen roots, when customers order a sandwich and watch as an employee grabs a salami or turkey log and uses a slicer to prepare the order.
The sandwich chain introduced deli slicers and freshly sliced meats at stores as its latest step in the ongoing initiative to revamp itself.
The chain famous for its foot-long sandwich officially unveiled the move to add both to its roughly 20,000 restaurants across the U.S. on Wednesday, in addition to an expansion of its 18-sandwich “Subway Series” menu. Four sandwiches designed to showcase the freshly sliced meats will join that menu’s existing sandwich lineup, according to Subway.
