Subway has announced that its franchisees will not be required to offer breakfast at their locations. According to a recent article in QSR Magazine , the initiative was introduced during a period of strong growth for the brand. As Subway may need to shutter nearly 500 locations in 2018, the breakfast menu is no longer a focus.
