Subway’s close proximity to the UW-SP campus and it’s wide array of healthy and filling sub and salad choices makes it an affordable dining location for students.
Subway Sandwiches and Salads: Best sub
The Pointer

Even with the addition of Jimmy John’s this past fall, Subway Sandwiches and Salads still takes home “The Best of Point” award for the subs category this year. Subway recently made their “five dollar footlong” marketing campaign into an all-year deal, offering all of their basic sandwiches at 12 inches for just $5 each. Subway has also reached its pinnacle atop the anti-fast food industry through its line of seven different sandwiches for six grams of fat or fewer. These sandwiches are six inches long and mostly have deli meat in them, including turkey, ham and roast beef. The calorie values are appealing as well, with most sandwiches estimated at about 220 calories.
The quality bread of Subway also contributes to its overall success. There are generally five types of bread: white, Italian, hearty Italian, wheat and Italian herb and cheese. “It’s good because it’s affordable and you can decide what you want on your sandwich rather than a Big Mac where all you get is grease,” said University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point junior Emily Felbab.
Subway is one of the only Stevens Point sub restaurants where you can actually watch your sandwich being made and have as much, or as little, toppings as you desire.
UW-SP senior Michael Babbits agrees.
“I like the freedom of having my sub any way I want it; there’s some times that I want extra mayo, and I usually always like it hot,” said Babbits. Abby Studinska, assistant manager at Subway, was quick to comment on the service aspect of their venue.
“We have a very energetic staff. We care about the subs that we make.” said Studinska.
It should also be noted that Subway has an array of soups, salads, cookies and a delicious line of breakfast sandwiches.
Whether you’re looking for a healthy meal with low grams of fat, a $5 Black Forest ham footlong, or a steak and cheese sandwich, Subway seeks to deliver you the highest quality sub sandwich available, made exactly the way you want it. It’s comforting to know that a restaurant that was opened in 1996 still provides the same fresh ingredients and attention to detail that allowed it to have such rapid growth in the past decade. It’s no wonder that Subway is still the students’ favorite place to purchase delicious sandwiches, at just $5 a foot!
