Retail alert: Subway is closing 500 restaurants

Subway plans to close 500 of its U.S. sandwich shops this year and will focus on expanding internationally, according to Bloomberg.

The company has faced competition from McDonald’s, supermarkets and even gas stations. It’s reportedly struggling to increase sales in the U.S. as new options emerge.

There are still more than 25,000 Subway locations across the country.
