CEO John Chidsey said on Thursday that Subway beginning Aug. 26 will launch a $6.99 promotion for a different foot-long sub every day for online orders. The promotion is expected to begin with a two-week run.

That could amount to a discount of more than 50% on some days. At full price, a foot-long Titan Turkey sub is priced at $11.89 and The Beast is $13.99...

According to what Jimmie Walker once relayed, most of the show's cast rarely had any interaction behind the camera. Walker didn't recall having any conversations with actress Esther Rolle, who played his TV mother, Florida Evans, or actor John Amos, who played James Evans, his TV mother.

A much-loved northeast Detroit steak restaurant, Capers, has been closed for construction since mid-June — and it's unclear when it'll return.Why it matters: Capers, known for its steak priced by the ounce, has been a staple on Gratiot Avenue since 1982 amid a tough, shifting restaurant industry.The latest: Capers announced on social media June 10 that it was "temporarily under construction and closed until completion."Four days later, in its most recent Facebook post, it added: "We miss y'all already! But don't worry we are coming back."The big picture: Some longtime spots have closed in recent years as they struggle to recover from the pandemic, including the Rattlesnake Club's closure in June. The Rattlesnake cited changes in dining habits and traffic hurting revenues since the pandemic.Capers did not respond to Axios' voicemail and messages on social media seeking comment.A big yellow-and-black sign on the building still reads: "Closed — under construction — we'll see you soon."
