Subway

I remember this Subway as being the only one in Cardiff that keeps it’s surfaces, not just clean, but shiny clean. Also the food always looked that little bit fresher and more colourful. I popped in recently, and noticed that it had not changed.
The prices are also better than anywhere else in Cardiff.

I have opted to include this branch of Subway out of a sense of civic duty and a curiously compelling need to serve the public interest… I really don’t know what’s come over me! I think it’s because I sense that a tussle of ‘David and Goliath’ proportions is playing itself out on a microcosmic level, here in this tiny pocket of commercial interest, on an otherwise residential road. The big boys seem to be squeezing the small independents until their pips squeak.
There’s a Tesco’s as well as this branch of Subway merrily undercutting their immediate rivals, which comprise of a couple of great little take-away’s and a corner convenience store. I’m going to leave Tesco’s alone in this instance as I think North Stores is sufficiently diverse and competitive to hold its own. But I can’t bring myself to temper my disdain for the very dreadful Subway. I’m aghast at the idea that a company that mass-​produces nutritionally bereft baguettes of the blandest variety manages to stay in business, especially when there’s quality convenience food directly opposite.
So, in short, I urge to ignore the ridiculously low prices that they attach to their unhealthy, unsatisfying snacks, and do yourselves a favour, and buy yourself something a lot more wholesome across the road.
