The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is investigating the $10 billion purchase of Subway to determine if it would create a sandwich shop monopoly with Jimmy John’s and Arby’s, both owned by Roark. Senator Elizabeth Warren has expressed concern and called for a federal antitrust investigation into the potential 'sandwich shop monopoly.' The probe is seen as a significant antitrust issue, drawing attention and ridicule on social media. The investigation involves defining the market in terms of sandwich shops and assessing the potential impact on consumers.
A different take: The customer is *not* always right. Say “no” to those who drain your energy and waste your time.
Elizabeth Warren is warning about a "sandwich shop monopoly." This requires her defining the term "sandwich shop." Defining the market is the whole game in anti-trust. Warren's working definition includes Arby's as a sandwich shop, but not Chick Fil-A. https://t.co/HMFeIkrrey
