While Subway offers customers a variety of 6-inch and foot-long bread options, they also offer a flatbread option. The flatbread was introduced in 2008 in part to compete with other sub restaurants. Although the nutritional value of the flatbread is similar to Subway's other bread options, it offers customers different taste options.
