BellaOnline Forums Food and Wine Low Carb Subway Abandons All Wraps

I remember when I trumpeted how great it was that Subway was adopting a low carb wrap as an option for their sandwiches. As of March 2009, they have completely abandoned ALL wraps in their stores.

Subway Abandons Wraps

This is VERY frustrating to me! I loved eating their wraps!!

We'll have to pull together some wrap ideas for Healthy Foods and Low Carb sites ;-)

But seriously, that's not a move forward, considering the number of cities enacting laws to require restaurants to post the calorie count of their menu items.

Are they leaving the salads alone, at least?

They still have 2 salads on their website but then again they still have wraps on their website too. I don't know when it was last updated.

I don't order salads because they are a pain in the butt to eat in the car. Really the key reason I go to Subway is we are driving somewhere and need to eat along the way. Although my boyfriend was out shopping at a WalMart I think a few days ago and brought me home a tuna sub which is how we discovered all of this.

Wow. This is very disappointing. I wonder what their reason is.

LOL I didn't even swear really, I said a word beginning with "b". I guess we are super-sensitive with our swear filter!!

I would have to guess it saves them a few pennies not to stock wraps. But heck, they're going to lose visitors as a result ...

Subway is like any other company, they go with the trend. Wraps are no longer "trendy" (this is according to even my business marketing professor). Plus, there recent campaigns of 5 dollar footlongs has really caused their business to peak. It has forced other sandwhich places to follow their suits, so if you can get a footlong sub for 5 dollars or a wrap for nearly the same, which would you go for (if you weren't low carb abd the average person)? Marketing research and real life reports say a 5 dollar footlong.

Pain in the behind?

Okay, that went through...so it must have been...butt?

Yep, there it is.

LOL Jilly

I'm sure most people would rather go for an all-you-can-eat buffet But they should still offer a wrap for the people who want to eat small healthy amounts! It shouldn't be an either-or thing. There's no way I want a whole foot of food!
