New York CNN —Unexpected demand for Subway’s new footlong cookies has created a big cookie shortage, driving the new snack off the menu less than two weeks after its big debut.
Because of the cookie’s surprising popularity, Subway has temporarily removed them from its app and third-party channels, like DoorDash, to manage demand.
Subway also said that for the first time since 2016, it has added more restaurants than it lost.
In the past few years under Chidsey’s purview, Subway chain has undergone a makeover in basically all aspects of its business, because it has struggled recently against its sub-slinging competition.
However, some franchisees recently complained that they weren’t impressed with the new $6,000 slicers.
