Here are my DD results so far...
I'm in Atlanta, Ga, so I called about 6 franchises, told them I was an investor and asked if they were utilizing the delivery service or if they had even heard about it. None had even heard about it. I also told them about the 888-SUB-TO-GO# They all said they were going to call corporate and would call me back to let me know what they found out.
I then called Public Relations at Subway's corporate office (230-877-4281 x 1683) and spoke to Kevin. I asked if he could give me any info. He said he didn't have any info about how many stores were participating and that it was up to the individual franchise if they wanted to participate. I told him about the stores I had called and that they didn't know anything about the delivery service. I asked who at corporate was in charge of letting the franchises know about this and maybe he would know how many were paticipating. He asked me to e-mail him (kane_k@subway.com) with this question and he would find out and right away and he would e-mail me with a response. He seemed very disturbed that the franchises were unaware of the delivery service.
I then called CEO of UDSG, Ryan Coblin,(561-674-9500) to find out his response and of course he was unavailable. I spoke with Maureen, who answered his phone, and told her about the franchise calls and that I would like a comment from Ryan. I also told her investors were getting very discouraged from lack of PR, especially since the stock was so low and that we needed a good, solid, factual response from Mr. Coblin. She assured me that he would return my phone call with this info.
So... we'll see what transpires!!!
