Please try againSubway Canada commissioned its inaugural State of Lunch Report to find out about Canadians lunch habits in a time where food prices are on the rise. Research revealed that 85% of employed Canadians say it is harder to find fresh lunch options at a price they feel comfortable paying, reinforcing the need for affordable, freshly prepared choices that do not compromise on quality or flavour. The survey findings point to the “Lunch Squeeze,” where Canadians continue to view lunch as important but are increasingly balancing affordability, freshness, quality and convenience when deciding what, and whether, to eat.“The newly launched Fresh For Less Menu gives Canadians greater choice and flexibility, with options under $5 that they can mix and match throughout the day,” said Denny Downie, Managing Director and Head of Marketing at Subway Canada. “Our State of Lunch Report found that lunch is an important part of the workday for Canadians, but rising food costs are making it harder to find the freshness and quality they want at a comfortable price. The Fresh For Less Menu brings those priorities together, without asking Canadians to settle on flavour, quality or variety.”The full roster of the Fresh For Less Menu includes:Served on warm ciabatta bread, Snackwiches are perfect for an on-the-go option with flavour-packed combinations.NEW Hot Honey Pepperoni Pizza SnackwichNEW Turkey Caesar SnackwichTurkey Ranch SnackwichHoney Mustard Ham SnackwichBLT SnackwichThree Cheese SnackwichBreakfast Ciabatta Sandwiches: Kickstart your morning with build-your-own Breakfast Sandwiches, all customizable with various sauces and veggies served on warm ciabatta bread.Sausage & Egg Breakfast Ciabatta SandwichBacon & Egg Breakfast Ciabatta SandwichCheese & Egg Breakfast Ciabatta SandwichSausage & Cheese Breakfast Ciabatta SandwichHam & Egg Breakfast Ciabatta SandwichWhether you’re looking for a quick bite between meals or the perfect addition to your order, Subway’s snacks and sides deliver satisfying flavours and convenient options for everyone.NEW Meatball Marinara Protein Cup* with 21 grams of proteinNEW Doritos® Sweet Chili Heat Footlong NachosNEW Mini Cookies, available in 8-piece and 12-piece packsDoritos® Nacho Cheese Footlong NachosFiesta Beans & Corn SaladPotato RingsSoup*The Meatball Marinara Protein Cup is not available in Quebec.Subway Canada’s inaugural State of Lunch Report explored how rising food costs, busy schedules and changing routines are influencing Canadians’ midday meals.
