By• @chartrdaily Sandwich artists: Sandwich specialist Subway is exploring a sale, eyeing a deal that the Wall Street Journal reports could value the chain north of $10bn.⁠ ⁠ The news comes at a time when Subway’s business is looking fresh, having reportedly posted record sales in 2021 and 2022, after roughly a decade of stagnation.⁠ ⁠ Subway started life in 1965 as Pete’s Super Submarines in Connecticut, co-founded by then 17-year-old Fred DeLuca and family friend Peter Buck, who loaned DeLuca $1,000 to start the business to try and pay college tuition. Running each store themselves, the pair successfully opened 16 shops in less than a decade, but things were taken to the next level when they began franchising in 1974.⁠ ⁠ Sub counts⁠ ⁠ Since then, Subway has managed the brand carefully, positioning the chain as a healthier alternative. That branding, combined with a lean franchise model, propelled Subway towards the top of the franchise food chain — meaning that any potential acquirer will get a company with more than 21,000 sites in America (per QSR), 30% more than second-place Starbucks.⁠ ⁠ Indeed, setting up a Subway franchise reportedly costs somewhere between $100k-250k, a fraction of what’s needed to set up a McDonald’s equivalent where costs can exceed $2 million.⁠ ⁠ However, although each store requires a lower upfront cost, they also sell less. A typical Subway pulls in a relatively-meager ~$440k of sales-per-store, the second-lowest in the QSR 50. Low costs also mean that Subway stores pop-up constantly, which means franchisees can find themselves “eating from opposite ends of the same sandwich”, hurting sales for both.⁠ ⁠ #dataviz #subway #fastfood

Credit goes to @statspanda Methodology: this graph represents the highest grossing animated movies of all time. The total gross amount was sourced from the-numbers.com and accounts for worldwide box office gross which includes domestic and international box office (obviously). While Disney | Pixar take up the rest of the films, Illumination Studios accounts for 33% of the highest grossing films. Fun Fact: The Lion King is the only film on this list from the 20th century (1994). Like this graph? So do I, perhaps share it with a friend or post it on your story. A bit shy??
