Local Subway restaurants to open under new management

Those who love eating at any of the three Subway restaurants in Clinton may have been wondering exactly why their favorite eatery has been closed for the past two days.

It is not because of anything drastic, just a change in management, according to Tim Mann chief operations officer of the N.C. Subway Group.

“Those stores are going through a transition (now),” said Mann Thursday morning.

Mann said that the Subway Group is still ‘committed’ to the three sites, located at 312 Northeast Boulevard; 1119 Sunset Avenue; and 1415 Sunset Avenue (inside of Wal-Mart) — all three were managed by Vitus Bradshaw.

“We are still committed to the sites,” promised Mann, “They will open under new management.”

Mann said it could take a few more days, possibly next week before the stores re-open.

Calls to Bradshaw were not immediately returned before press time Thursday.

The employees checks from the week before went belly up if they weren't cashed before the asset freeze on Tuesday. If the employees did not receive the paychecks for the scheduled week they are to contact the treasury representative if I understood correctly. Also, to help explain what the Sampson independent did not, here is an interesting article.

Article Reads: FEDERAL BANKRUPTCY COURT FINDS FAILURE TO TRANSFER AGREEMENTS TO

CORPORATION LEFT OBLIGATIONS IN NAME OF INDIVIDUAL

A bankruptcy court in North Carolina has refused to apply the automatic stay in

bankruptcy to agreements that were never formally transferred to the would-be

franchisee corporation. In re KVS Foodsystems, LLC, 2009 WL 1241272 (Bankr. E.D.N.C.

April 29, 2009). Subway’s parent company, Doctor’s Associates, had entered into a

franchise relationship and sublease agreement for two Subway stores with an individual

named Vitus Bradshaw. Bradshaw then formed KVS Foodsystems, LLC (KVS), to operate

his two stores, but he never transferred the rights or obligations of the franchise

agreement or sublease to KVS. In November 2008, KVS filed for bankruptcy. This

reported decision arose from Bradshaw’s petition to the court for an automatic stay

protecting his Subway subleases as “property of the estate” under Chapter 11 of the

Bankruptcy Code.

The court rejected Bradshaw’s petition, stating, among other things, that Bradshaw is

“neither the Debtor, a third party defendant, nor a co-defendant . . . [and] has a

contractual relationship with Subway,” and that Bradshaw, not KVS, had failed to pay

rent to the franchisor for four consecutive months. Therefore, Doctor’s Associates

rightfully terminated the subleases. The only remedy, the court stated, is for Bradshaw

“to file an individual bankruptcy petition under the appropriate chapter should he

determine that it is in his interest to . . . gain the benefit of the automatic stay.”

Aside from the fact, 3 subway stores are closed in Clinton, there are also 30 people without jobs. My guess with as sudden as the stores closed, the employees did not even get paid. Granted some were not always pleasant but for the MOST part, always had a great service from the employees. From what was in there control.

Sadly these things aren't opening anytime soon. It's tied up again in the legal system. The stores aren't even listed on the Subway website anymore. I don't want to say anything more because of legalities but lets just say someone really has been/continues to be an ass and throwing up a roadblock everytime subway tries to open the stores under there control.

noneyobiz it was the same way at the Subway at Shamrock. I have been in and was told they were "waiting on the truck across the road" or "we are out of that". Hopefully, things will be better when they reopen.

It's about friggin' time! I was so tired of the ghetto fabulous employees at subway off Sunset Ave. and the bitter old women off 701. They acted liked they were doing you a favor just to acknowledge your existence with their eyerolling and pissy demeanor. The one in Wal-mart always had oven problems. Good riddens to bad help. I hope they fire them all and get people in there who, I don't know, hmmm, LIKE TO WORK!
