      @@completelywitless9593 That's right, no can because it never happened. The brothers and their heirs never made this claim and the brothers famously wanted everything in writing. They would have never dropped their guard for the most important transaction in their lives.The ones who violated a handshake deal were the brothers. They agreed that the original San Bernardino store was part of the $2.7 million sale price and then went back on that.

    the only reason there are more Subways than any other chain is because they will let ANYONE open one. if you want a McDonald's franchise you need to have a LOT of money and restaurant experience
    They also won't open McDonald's that will steal an existing business. opening a McDonald's is a great investment

      At the time though he thought the price he paid for it was too much.
      I do think it seems like he did most of the work to allow it to expand as well, but I do think the two founders should have at least gotten a small percentage. The thing is Ray was constantly having to get their approval and wanted to buy them out fast.

    • @realazduffman
      @realazduffman 7 лет назад

      By any conventional measure he paid way too much. Several times too much. Ray knew that MCD would soon enter a period of hyper-growth and Turner explained better to pay way too much now than way way, way more just a few years later. Plus he had a limited time contract, the brothers could have just not renewed it. Had they just taken the 1% not the upfront Ray probably would have made the deal based on his later deals.

    snacks and restaurants that sell sandwiches, kebabs, hamburgers, pizza, tacos or anything.
    all sell the same food all the time.
    it is always the same food
    It is a bad idea because No one can eat the same thing all the time.
    Every one has to change food all the time
    a better idea is :
    to make a restaurant where food changes all the time
    for example :
    week 1 : chicken and hamburgers
    week 2 : rice, tomatoes, hot dog
    week 3: kebabs, mashed potatoes, pizza
    and so on
    just like a school canteen
    This restaurant type beats mc donald's, subway, kebabs, snacks... all together and no one had the idea to make such restaurant

    • @Malefactor
      @Malefactor 7 лет назад +62

      Because Subway managed to convince the world that their food was healthier than burgers and fries. Fast food is a guilty pleasure, Subway sold itself as fast food without the guilt. Which is fine if you do what Jarred actually did (eat 6-inch veggie subs without cheese or sauce... not fuck children), but a foot-long meatball sub is just as fattening as a Big Mac.

    • @chrisfox6843
      @chrisfox6843 7 лет назад +25

      You also don't need a fryer or vent hood at subway. Alot cheaper to open when you don't have to invest in those.

    • @dahalofreeek
      @dahalofreeek 7 лет назад +19

      However, a footlong meatball sub is about as satiating as three Big Macs. Much more nutritious as well. Sure it's not health food but you can put a good amount of vegetation in there, you can get the wholemeal bread, it is a much less guilty option than the unapologetically unhealthy burger joints.

    • @MrMagnaFarce
      @MrMagnaFarce 7 лет назад +25

      Opening a Subway franchise is much, much cheaper than other fast food joints ($200,000-$300,000 as opposed to $1,000,000+ for McDonald's), their food requires less preparation and thus fewer employees, almost no cooking is done in the store, and most of the ingredients (veggies and bread) are quite cheap. Keep in mind most locations doesn't necessarily mean most profitable or most popular.

      B-MakeFashion just like Mike said, the founder is written from a different point of view.
      I would say, the Mcdonald brothers were unable to see what Ray Kroc can see with the Mcdonald brand. Ray saw a revolutionary way of people eating out that can be replicated easily on a global scale. The McDonald’s, however, were not buying that and got stuck in the old age. So, just like Yahoo and Blockbuster of today, they got left behind in the past.
