SUBWAY is the latest fast food chain to announce its closure amidst the coronavirus epidemic.
In a statement released today, the sandwich shop said that their stores will close at 5pm today to ‘support social distancing and keep everyone healthy for as long as possible.’
Barnsley has several franchises across Barnsley including one in the Barnsley Interchange, Market Street, Wakefield Road, Peel
Retail Park and Wombwell Lane.
The franchises will be donating food throughout the local community over the next few days, in line with other fast food outlets such as McDonald’s.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
