Sandwich franchise Subway said on the 30th that it will raise menu prices starting on the 7th of next month.
Items subject to the increase include standalone sandwiches, sides, and drinks. Based on the most popular 15-centimeter standalone sandwiches among consumers, prices will be raised by an average of 210 won (about 2.8%). Prices for standalone drinks and set menus will also increase by 100 to 200 won.
For the signature menu item egg mayo (15 centimeters), the price will be adjusted from 5,900 won to 6,200 won. The Italian BMT (15 centimeters) will go up from 7,200 won to 7,500 won. The price of jambon will be frozen. Cookies, a side menu item, will increase by 100 won from 1,500 won to 1,600 won.
A Subway official said, "We inevitably adjusted prices in light of continued increases in materials and supplies costs and the operating burden on franchisees," and noted, "We minimized the increase through internal expense reductions."
