Subway offering grocery services during the COVID-19 crisis

Participating locations will be offering wholesale grocery supplies for pickup

Local Subway restaurants are now offering wholesale grocery supplies for purchase. Staples including breads, lunch meats, proteins such as grilled chicken, meatballs and tuna, cheeses and vegetables are available for order, as well as select signature sauces, soups, egg patties and snacks. The program launched earlier this month in several states.

Orders can be placed at local restaurants via subwaygrocery.com for pickup, and visitors can also donate a sandwich to first responders in their shopping carts. The site also provides chef’s recipes, such as Chili Willy’s Steak Fajitas and the Quarantuna Melt, made from the available ingredients complete with a corresponding Subway shopping list and Subway chef tips.

“We are so proud to be able to offer these expanded options to our neighbors in this challenging time,” said Akki Patel, president of Letap Group and a Development Agent for Subway in northern California. “Whether we’re providing an alternative to your weekly grocery run, a direct donation service to thank our front-line essential workers or a fast, easy and healthy option for dinner tonight, Subway is here for you. It’s what good neighbors do.”

On a national level, Subway restaurants are pitching in with new offerings to support their communities as the restaurant expands relief efforts at the national level. Subway recently announced its new national partnership with nonprofit Feeding America: from now until the end of April, for each foot-long sub purchased at any of its locations, Subway is donating one meal to Feeding America. The program hopes to donate 15 million meals to those in need during the current health crisis.
