Sandwich store industry occupies a significant share in the American economy. The shops produce food for immediate consumption and non-alcoholic drinks without table service. The shops working in this sphere are growing each year, and their profits grow in correspondence with the popularity among customers. According to the IBIS report, the “industry revenue grew 4.3% and 6.0% in 2015 and 2017, respectively” (“Sandwich & Sub Store Franchises Industry in the US” par. 1). Such a success in performance was achieved due to some positive changes and adjustments of menu options to more healthy food items and concerns about meals containing a high level of fat. The flexibility in meeting customer requirements and preferences contributes to the overall efficiency of the industry participants.
Beside revenue growth, other parameters of economic advancement showed positive changes. Indeed, the number of businesses grew by 0.9%, as well as the number of employees working in the industry increased by 2.3% (“Sandwich & Sub Store Franchises Industry in the US”). Also, there are some threats that might undermine the success of the industry’s performance, such as consumer confidence affecting household expenditures and customer spending rates (“Sandwich & Sub Store Franchises Industry in the US”).
