Houston, Texas Named "Capital of Footlong Nation" and Awarded Sandwich Donation to Local Food Bank
MILFORD, CT, March 29, 2010 - SUBWAY® restaurants, the world's largest submarine sandwich chain, today announced the results of an online poll which asked fans across the country to vote for their Favorite Footlong sub at www.subwayfreshbuzz.com and determine: What is America's Favorite Footlong?
Thousands voted, and atop the leader board, with 26 percent of total online votes, the Italian B.M.T. captured America's hearts - and appetites - as the nation's favorite Footlong. Known as "the sandwich to conquer all hunger," the Italian B.M.T. is served on freshly baked bread bursting with sliced Genoa salami, pepperoni, Black Forest ham, cheese and a choice of vegetables and condiments. Following are the top three "Favorite Footlongs" as voted by fans:
Results mark the culmination of the seven-week long "Footlong Nation Appreciation" campaign, developed to give thanks to the fans that made SUBWAY® Footlongs famous. To provide an additional "Thank You," Houston, Texas, the location which cast the most online votes, has been deemed "Capital of Footlong Nation" and will receive a donation of 500 Footlongs to a local food bank.
Consumers also had the opportunity to win a variety of prizes, including free Footlong subs for a year. New winners have been selected every day via various online games and fans will continue to have the chance to win prizes by entering at www.subwayfreshbuzz.com through April 15, 2010.
"The Italian BMT certainly has some loyal fans and we are glad we could offer it as a $5 Footlong for a limited time," said Tony Pace, chief marketing officer of the Subway Franchisee Advertising Fund Trust (SFAFT). "Congratulations to Houston, Texas for earning the title 'Capital of Footlong Nation.' And thanks to all our fans that voted for their favorite footlongs."
