This is a normal post "185 branches across UK and Ireland now sell halal-only meat"
What I imagine happened is Subway identified 185 stores which sold almost no pork products, perhaps due to most of their customers being Muslim, and decided to save a bit of cash by not stocking pork products in those shops and also to switch to meat their customers would like to buy.

But I guess "COMPANY STOPS STOCKING PRODUCTS THAT AREN'T SELLING!!" doesn't really sell newspapers.

This is a normal post Didnt realise Subway had more than 185 stores in the UK.
I guess there are a lot more stupid people in the UK than I thought!
Never had a Subway - I tend not to buy things from American global companies anyway. Much better to get a freshly made sarnie from my local butcher.

This is a normal post We used to have this place up town centre.
Cheaper than subway and absolutely rammed your sandwich with delicious filling. Local places always beat the franchises IMO.

This is a normal post 5 years ago there used to be about 10 in Leeds City Centre
then half of them shut down in the space of a year when they realised they were basically just competing with each other.

This is a normal post that's their business model. Starbucks do the same.
They just try to drive out competition. Once that is done, they then start shutting stores down.

This is a normal post Don't they have more branches than Mickey D now?
Worldwide, to be fair, but we're hardly short on them here.

There are two on Putney High Street. You can actually see one from the other one.
