You're now deciding who Subway's customers are?
They like any other company have to make location-based business decisions. If the majority of customers in their areas like their food a certain way then they'd be stupid to ignore that, thereby likely losing trade, just so they can make a public statement.
What they won't do is make certain outlets halal-only "in case it offends Muslims" and thereby drive away customers who object to that.

He had been given evidence by others, just not in a publishable form. He is the parliamentary group leader of the CDU, which is Merkel's party.
I suppose you think it that's just chance that pork has been removed from ALL meal options. Especially as the menu changes every few months. If their argument is that it reduces costs, then that explicitly says that it is a deliberate ban. Not only that, the non-pork meat has to be Halal or there is no cost savings and you might as well include pork anyway. Any special arrangements that would have to be made for pork would also have to be made for non-Halal chicken. The excuse given is a COMPLETE AND UTTER LIE.
Are all or even most of VISITORS(ie workers or shoppers) to an area, Muslim. Highly unlikely. Even if they are, they are unlikely to go to a Subway, Halal or otherwise. It is the
franchisee insisting on it being Halal, IRRESPECTIVE of who the actual customers are. IT IS NOT the company making the decision.
The point is that there will be NO branches of Subway in a purely residential area. Therefore whatever the demographics of the area, it is immaterial, as the residents are NOT the potential customers.
The exemptions in law regarding animal slaughter are meant to be there because of the beliefs of the CONSUMERS. If it used as a production method for consumers that are non-Halal and non-Kosher, then having the law in the first place is meaningless, as ALL animal slaughter could use the Halal/Kosher method without the religious part.
