This place is the definition of how an owner/operator runs a business into the ground from neglect. Ironically, the University's business school is directly across the street. This Subway serves as a perfect example of how to erode a franchise brand reputation. Heck, as a business professor in marketing I might just make a case study out of this and publish it. 😅
Issues:
- Google shows this place "Temporarily Closed" and has for a while. It is not.
- The Subway app no longer lists this location. So you can't make any mobile orders.
- As other reviews note, they are often out of crucial ingredients, bread, pizza, etc.
- As other reviews note, the payment system is often offline ("cash only")
- The drink selection is down to just pure sugar fountain drinks. Tea, especially unsweetened, is almost never available.
As other reviews have indicated, the bright spot here are the poor employees that have to work under these suboptimal conditions and face all the wrath from upset customers. They remain so positive and try their best despite this mismanagement.
Surprised Subway Corporate hasn't taken action. But, looking at the bright side, at least we have a constant stream of great "how not to do it" stories for our marketing and management classes.

Ordered from here once before. Food was passable. I ordered over the app a second time. Get a call a couple a minutes later that they don't have the ingredients. Now I can't get a refund. Avoid this place. Bad food. Bad service. And they'll steal your money. I'll take this review down when I get my refund.
Update11/12: still no refund

The franchise should be ashamed of this place. This might be not only the worst Subway experience ever, but possibly the worst fast food experience.
Constantly out of stock of most basic items for sandwiches and salads. Constant problems with payment system (no internet, cash only), toast/ovens constantly out of order. This means the app for to go is usually taken off-line too.
I think the folks who work here, having to bear the brunt of all these problems and put up with the annoyed customers are the heroes of this story. The owners (whoever is supposed to be managing this place) are failing this brand, its customers, and the small campus community miserably.
I am willing to bet this comment will get no response from management.
Good luck everybody, especially the folks who have to suffer here as employees.
