Subway to Raise Price of 15cm Sandwiches by 5.1% Starting Next Month on the 3rd

[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Hyewon] Subway announced on the 27th that it will raise the prices of its flagship product line, the 15cm sandwiches, by an average of 5.1% starting from the 3rd of next month.

The menu items included in this price increase are 18 types of 15cm sandwiches, 18 types of 30cm sandwiches, 18 types of salads, and 4 types of additional options.

However, the four popular additional options among domestic customers?Egg Mayo, Double Cheese, Avocado, and Pepperoni?as well as the entire 'Smile Sub' menu, which includes Wedge Potato, Soup, Cookies, and Beverages offered at reasonable prices ranging from 1,000 to 2,000 KRW, are excluded.

The average price increase rates by product category are 5.1% (an average increase of 283 KRW) for 15cm sandwiches, 8.3% (817 KRW) for 30cm sandwiches, 3.9% (283 KRW) for salads, and 5.3% (125 KRW) for the four additional options. Although the 30cm sandwich category has the highest price increase, even after this adjustment, it remains on average 8.7% cheaper than the price of two 15cm sandwiches.

Subway explained that the price increase is a measure to improve the profitability of franchise stores, which has worsened due to increased overall costs such as rising international food raw material prices for meat, poultry, and eggs; a surge in shipping freight costs caused by the global logistics crisis; increased commission fees due to a rise in delivery orders; and increases in minimum wage and exchange rates.
