Also one in Bragg Creek.

According to their website, there are 23 locations spread throughout BC, Alberta and one in Saskatchewan.

And one on 32nd ave ne.

Speaking of Subway, want to guess which fast food restaurant has the least % of real chicken in their chicken?

Marketplace did both a blind taste test and lab test

I would rather eat discounted/dated food at 7-11 than Subway. Any grocery store has better sub sandwiches than Subway

Edit - I would also probably prefer most items from a vending machine than Subway

I had Subway for the first time in years last night as I didn't feel like cooking and Uber Eats had a special buy one get one free. I know Uber Eats can sometimes jack up prices and there is an additional fee but I was really surprised by how expensive Subway was and how little food it offered. It was $25 for three foot long subs (2 steak and cheese and one ham) and one of those was free. $12 seems pretty ridiculous for those subs.

Man 5 Guys really dominated that poll.

After having the 6th most votes in Round 1, they had the most in every subsequent round.

In fairness, round 2 they were up against Taco Bell and destroyed them. Round 3 was against Subway where Wendy's and A&W went head to head splitting the vote.

Makes you wonder how the poll would have changed if the match ups were different.

Five guys is also a different category of premium fast food which this poll didn’t really address. Outside of five guys this was a garbage fast food poll. (Not that the poll was bad. Just the choices were the low quality low cost type fast food options.

What might be a more interesting poll would be comparing "signature" sandwiches or dishes.

Big Mac vs Whooper vs Baconator or Spicy Chicken vs Big Crunch vs whatever else.

This was the worst poll yet.
The winner has no locations, hardly anyone has eaten there, and it's not even really in the same category of fast-food. Their prices are probably triple that of Tim Hortons.

I really liked this poll. The first round especially was well done. Only 5 guys didn’t really fit.

I don’t understand what you mean they have no locations. They have 6 in the Calgary area for about the last 5 years. If you wanted to eat one you could eat at one.

I agree. That was a fun poll. And I’m pretty sure that Five Guys outnumbers Arby’s in this city now. If anything it could have been expanded to a round of 32.

There are more Five Guys locations in Calgary than Arby's or Taco Bell, and only a couple less than Burger King or Popeyes.

In-n-Out and Chipotle have no locations in the city at all.
