They clearly felt that Jersey Mike's was taking a big chunk of their market share because for about two weeks they were promoting they were now slicing your meat fresh. Two stores I used to frequent had shiny new deli slicers that were on the back counter, unplugged. I think they got really huge during the late 90's early aughts when fitness and eating well was a big thing. I think with better alternatives, the rising cost of food because of inflation, people just don't see the value of their offerings any more.
