Ever read the fine print on the Subway posters while waiting in line? Subway’s corporate name is Doctor’s Associates, Inc.

I grew up in Wallingford, CT, home of Subway #2 (#1 is in Milford). While the current location is down the street from the original corner location at Rte 5 and Center Street, across from the train station, Rosa’s Deli is within yards of both locations, and is 100x better.
If he can’t live past 67 with 3.5 BILLION dollars, what chance do the rest of us have? I am glad I retired at 65 last week to ride my bicycle on a trip to the alps. I’m not looking back!

Sounds like he lived the American dream. While his illness and untimely death is a sad book end to his life by most measures, he was a success and made the world a better place for thousands, if not millions.
At least at a subway you can watch your food getting made. If I was a cop that is where I would eat. Some fast food places, like someone else said, will spit in your food.
Wasn’t he the one who not long ago commented on how if he were in the same situation today as a young man (when he started Subway) that because of Obama and the Democrats, it would be a lot more difficult to start an enterprise like Subway because of the taxes, Obamacare, and the overall stigma against working hard and becoming successful and wealthy as a result?
RIP.
One reason that Subway zoomed past McDonald’s (in terms of number of restaurants) is because the sub chain rarely respected territorial rights for franchise holders. In fact, it became common practice for the company to open a store a few blocks away when a local franchisee achieved exceptional sales and growth.
Subway ran more than a few of their franchisees out of business using that tactic.
