Subway is making a big change to its meats, adding freshly sliced deli meat to roughly 20,000 US locations beginning Wednesday. Around 80% of stores will display the $6,000 slicers prominently (space permitting) near the deli counter with most of the meat sliced several times a day, including turkey, pepperoni, roast beef, ham and salami. That’s a major shift from Subway’s previous method of slicing meat at its factories and delivering it to stores. Adding freshly sliced meat “felt like the natural step that we needed to get back to and address,” Trevor Haynes, president for Subway’s North America operations, told CNN. Average yearly sales at Subway US restaurants, however, are much lower compared to its sandwich business rivals.
