Market Fresh Light Options
The Market Fresh sub focuses on lean protein and vibrant produce. Oven-roasted chicken pairs with a light herb vinaigrette and crunchy vegetables for a low-heart option that still delivers flavor.
Balance and Portion Control
Guests seeking a balanced bite can pile on non-starchy vegetables and skip heavy extras. The design encourages smaller portions of protein while maximizing freshness.
Italian Classic Reinvented
The Italian Classic gets a modern update with premium Genoa salami and ham layered with peppers and onions. The oregano-infused oil & vinegar sauce ties the familiar profile to a crisper, less greasy sub.
Build-Your-Style Adjustments
Shoppers can choose reduced cheese or swap to turkey ham while keeping the iconic three-meat combo. This flexibility supports varied dietary goals without losing the traditional taste.
Chipotle Kick for Heat Lovers
The Chipotle Kick sub delivers a bold, smoky experience with grilled steak and chipotle ranch. Spicy jalapeños and cool ranch create contrast and satisfy cravings for layered flavor.
Custom Spice Levels
Guests can calibrate heat by adjusting jalapeño count or choosing a lighter ranch veil. The sub is designed to be bold yet approachable for regular spice seekers.
Mediterranean Veggie and Breakfast Revival
The new vegetarian line includes a Mediterranean Veggie with feta and a tofu blend, plus a Breakfast Revival with eggs and bacon. Both highlight hearty ingredients that stand in for meat without relying on processed fillers.
Morning-to-Day versatility
Creamy hashbrown sauce in the breakfast option bridges diner comfort with fast-casual convenience. Diners who eat early or late can find a suitable protein-forward profile.
