Given falling sales, the company has been trying to win over consumers with new menu items and all-natural adjustments like removing artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives from its US menu.
However, the sandwich chain faces ample competition in the form of fast-casual restaurants like Sweetgreen that offer locally sourced ingredients. Worse, the company faces the stigma from former spokesperson Jared Fogle's descent.
