SUBWAY(R) Restaurants Finds Football Fans Want Healthier Options While Watching the Big Game: Nearly Nine in 10 Fans Crave Better-for-You Ch
MILFORD, Conn. (Business Wire EON) January 24, 2008 -- SUBWAY(R) Restaurants, which has long been committed to promoting "better-for-you" meal options among both children and adults, conducted an Omnibus survey of more than 1,000 Americans regarding their Game Day snack consumption habits and learned they overeat the most during the Big Game (27%)--trailing only Thanksgiving (85%) and Christmas (61%). More than half surveyed (59%) admitted to overeating during the Big Game and reported gorging themselves on nachos, fried chicken, chicken wings, pizza and other generic "junk food."
The findings present a potential win for SUBWAY(R) Restaurants, which launched SUBWAY FRESH FIT(TM) menus for adults and children early last year, to provide Americans with healthier Game Day dining options. The menus, designed to offer better-for-you, on-the-go meal options to complement active lifestyles, consist of low-fat sandwiches and "fit" sides and beverages, such as apples, raisins, and yogurt.
"Our locations nationwide offer convenient catering service that is ideal for any party," said of Tony Pace, Chief Marketing Officer of the Subway Franchisee Advertising Fund Trust. "Our delicious and satisfying FRESH FIT(TM) subs can help Game Day fans cut down on post-game regrets--regardless of whether their team wins or loses."
