What about that Tuna? Too good to change. The tuna is safe!

Subway is looking to revamp the brand as competition is fierce. Too many choices in 2021 with Doordash and others. Subway plans to also fight off "tuna-gate" as they're being accused of serving the tuna favorite, with no tuna in it. So, definitely a plan to get the brand revamped. Find more at their website.
