Pizza chains already suffering from stagnant sales growth may be facing a showdown with Jared, the Subway guy.
Earlier this year, the behemoth sandwich chain announced plans to offer 8-inch personal pizzas in about 13,000 stores in the United States. Subway operates more than 21,000 locations nationwide and did more than $7 billion in U.S. sales in 2005.
Subway isn’t the only restaurant getting into the pizza game. Coffee and donut chain Dunkin’ Donuts, already on an aggressive expansion tear, has been testing a pepperoni pizza that can be cooked in about a minute and a half.
And pizzeria operators are taking notice of the challenge.
