If you’re wondering why Subway is closed today and the reason is pretty tasty: Free Subway July 13.

If you drove by your local Subway today hoping to get in on some footlong action ahead of the Home Run Derby, you were probably met with a disappointing stomach gurgle.  Nothing is worse than setting your mind on something — or coming to peace with the fact that Subway is your dinner option — only to have the rug ripped out from under you.

But something that doesn’t suck is free stuff, and that’s what Subway is offering as a reason for closing its stores early on July 12th.

Why is Subway closing on July 12?

All Subway restaurants will be closing early on July 12th in order to prepare for their One Million Sub Giveaway.

Per FoodSided: 

"Recently, Subway announced a huge menu revamp. The Eat Fresh Refresh included 20 menu updates. From new recipes to additional ingredients to even some new sandwiches the concept is to give guests the best quick service restaurant experience."

The hullabaloo is in regards to a new menu that Subway is unveiling, something that the sandwich chain has been slowly filtering into certain markets for the last few months. If you’ve seen those new baked panini sandwiches, then you’ve seen part of the new rollout.

Subway store hours: What time does Subway close on July 12?
