When Subway comes to town

Recently, a Subway opened up in Buckhead. Now while that might not seem like big news or something worth talking about - it really kinda is.

For the past week throngs have descended upon the sand which shoppe with lines long enough to almost stretch out of the door. What's more important, is that it looks like it could be taking away customers from some of the more established eateries on the corner.

So why is Subway winning with the lunchtime Buckhead crowd? Quite simple, it's a healthier alternative and it's the new shiny toy that many are playing with now.

It's a pricey toy, as a filling meal cost a little more than 9 bucks for me (ouch). But lunch goers are willing to pay for that, as Subway represents the mecca of all healthy eating. Does anyone remember Jared?

So healthy lunch eaters in Buckhead can rejoice. They have a new option. Now if only they could leave the vending machines in their offices alone.
