Subway is turning things around. The chain announced its ninth consecutive quarter of positive sales.
  • Subway's global same-store sales surged by more than 12% in the most recent quarter, the chain said.
  • Digital sales grew about 20% in North America, boosted by deals for app users.
  • The growth coincided with the release of a documentary about disgraced spokesperson Jared Fogle.

Subway is turning things around, and even a scathing documentary reminding the public of its former spokesperson's abhorrent behavior can't stop the sandwich chain's progress. 

Subway, which as a private company only shares periodic updates to its financials, announced on Monday its ninth consecutive quarter of positive sales. In the most recent quarter, global same-store sales surged by more than 12%, the chain said.
