You look at Jugo and Booster Juice... they had more of a health connotation with their initial marketing and it served them really well. Atomic and bubble tea one would think would not be in that same category and by that time Jugo and Booster were already flooding the market.
Atomic have subs too though; that's actually the main thing I go there for. At lunch, most people are there ordering food, not bubble tea, in my experience.
