Louisiana Subways Made the Big Switch… Did You Even Notice?

There have been a lot of changes at Subway over years, mostly menu changes.  I still miss their BBQ sandwich they used to do. But they dropped that a long time ago.  Over the years they continue to change, refresh, or update sandwich choices based on what sells, what doesn't, and national food trends.

But this most recent change doesn't involve a sandwich, or what veggies or condiments you can put on your sandwich, but rather what beverage you enjoy while eating your favorite foot-long.

Last spring, Subway announced a 10 year agreement with PepsiCo to begin carrying Pepsi products in all their stores.  Subway said this will give them a larger selection of beverages that will include Pepsi, Gatorade, Aquafina, and Mountain Dew.

But it wasn't just the beverages that helped Subway make their decision.  They already got their snacks and chips from Frito-Lay.  PepsiCo owns Frito-Lay... so it's really kind of a no-brainer.  Subway benefits from getting their snacks, chips and beverages from one supplier.

If I had my druthers... I like Coke Zero pretty much over any other soda.  But I've been a Subway patron for a long time, and having to choose Pepsi Zero instead of Coke Zero certainly isn't going to be a deal-breaker for me.

The change from Coke to Pepsi officially began in January 2025, but it will be a gradual process as stores across the country make the change.  Although, as you can see, stores in the Shreveport market seem to have made the switch.
