MILFORD, Conn. Upgrades to its breads and ingredients are the backbone to what Subway is calling the largest menu refresh in its history.

This “Eat Fresh Refresh” started in July as Subway aims to rejuvenate its brand.

The changes include 11 improved ingredients, including ham, turkey, steak and bacon, and upgrades to its signature Italian bread and Hearty Multigrain bread. There are four new sandwiches, and two others, Roast Beef and Rotisserie Chicken, have been brought back. Another four have been upgraded with the new ingredients.

The most notable change is the bread. For example, the Italian bread is baked at a hotter temperature, 370 degrees, and for longer, for a crispier crust.

Other additions include smashed avocado with sea salt, BelGioioso Fresh Mozzarella and a new Parmesan Vinaigrette.

The Bottom Line: There has never been a purchase of a restaurant chain the size of the sandwich brand Potbelly by a convenience-store chain. History suggests it could be a difficult road.

Faster transactions, shorter lines and ease of use drive interest, age-restricted items and technical issues still pose barriers
