  • Subway’s CEO, Suzanne Greco, is retiring after 45 years at the company. 
  • Subway has struggled in recent years, losing more than 900 locations in the US last year and recently announcing plans to close roughly 500 more in 2018. 
  • Many franchisees had previously criticized Greco to Business Insider, saying she was “not qualified” to be CEO. 
  • One franchisee told Business Insider on Wednesday that there is a prevailing feeling of “guarded optimism” about Greco’s retirement.
