At Shedoesthecity, we put self-care pretty high on the priority list, and that includes a proper and balanced lunch. Skipping lunch is for amateurs; everybody knows that you perform at your best once you’ve nourished your bod and taken a moment to regroup.

In honour of our new favourite holiday, National Sandwich Day on Nov. 3rd, SUBWAY commissioned a survey to get to the meat (har har) of consumer lunch habits. And the results are shocking. SHOCKING.

As it shakes out, North Americans are experiencing “recess withdrawal” and RARELY take lunch.

  • 70% of workers take a lunch break that is 30 min or less
  • 20% of millennials take less than 15 min for lunch
  • more than half of all workers wish they could take a nap during lunch
  • 49% believe that they would snack less and make better meal choices if they took a proper lunch break

In light of these results, SUBWAY came up with a delicious way to get workers aboard the lunch and wellness train. The #SaveLunchBreak movement includes a Buy One; Share One meal deal ALLLLLLL day long on National Sandwich Day! Customers who purchase a six-inch or foot-long SUBWAY sandwich and any drink will receive a FREE second sandwich of equal value for a friend or coworker. C’mon sharing!
