The death of a nuclear physicist who co-founded Subway Restaurants has thrown the fast-food giant’s future into doubt, with dealmakers fretting that hopes to sell the struggling chain look more complicated than ever.
Peter Buck — whose $1,000 loan to Fred DeLuca in 1965 to start a sandwich shop in Bridgeport, Conn. launched a global fast-food empire that made him a billionaire — died last week at the age of 90, the company said.
What’s less known is the fact that Subway earlier this year held informal talks to possibly sell itself to Restaurant Brands International, the Brazil-based owner of Burger King, sources close to the situation said.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
