Annual sales soar for growing Miami Subs restaurant chain
By Kristen Laney

Less than one year after moving into
107 E. Franklin St., Miami Subs’ con
tinued growth has brought more than a
100-percent increase in sales to the Fla.-
based restaurant chain.
For the fiscal year ending May 31,
the company’s revenue rose from SB.B
million to $21.8 million, a 147-percent
increase in total revenue, said Jerry
Woda, chief financial official for Mi
ami Subs.

Officials at Miami Subs consider the
Chapel Hill store, which opened last
August, a very lucrative account, Woda
said. “The franchise is owned by one of
our best franchisees,” Woda said of
Florida-based owner Manny Garcia.
“The company is just expanding.”
Since the store has not been open a
year, sale figures are not yet available,
said Rich Quigley, manager of the down
town Miami Subs.
Many Miami Subs restaurants have
been seeing double-digit increases in
sales, Woda said, and sales in the newer

Copland questioned many of the fees,
particularly the Educational and Tech
nology fee, as being too excessive.
Of the $73 increase for this fee, S7O
of it would go toward the purchase and
maintainence of computing and net
working technologies such as those in
computer labs and “master classrooms,”
classrooms equipped with advanced
computer technology.
Copland said that improving techno
logical services are crucial to the Uni
versity but that they should be funded
by the state. “All of these have been
funded by state dollars in the past,” he
said. “I don’t think the students should
pay for functioning classrooms. The
state should pay for academic buildings
and classrooms.
“I don’t think the ends justify the
means.”
Chris Canfield, director of media re

festival began in 1981, the queen and
the queen’s court was sort of a joke,
Moseley said. But now the role comes
with a tremendous amount of responsi
bility. “The largest priority we had was
getting sponsors,” Moseley said.
The festival raised $33,000 last year,
he said. Most of the money went to the
Triangle’s two AIDS homes, the
Hustead House in Raleigh and the
Blevins House in Durham.
The TASP and AIDS Service Agency
of Orange County each received $2,000
last year, Moseley said.
The AIDS Service Agency of Or
ange County recently reapplied for funds
from the Department of Housing and
Urban Development to build a Carrboro
AIDS home, so funds raised from this
year’s festival will be earmarked for
units are even higher than older ones.
Because the chain sells “college-type
food,” it is especially successful in uni
versity communities.
“The biggest asset to us being lo
cated in a college town is that we have
people from all over the world step
through our doors, and they take the
high standards that we try to set with
them,” Quigley said.
Restauranteer Gus Boulis opened the
first Miami Subs store in 1983 in Key
West, Fla., and the chain has been ex
panding since, Woda said. Miami Subs
SSOO fee. “I think you have to differen
tiate professional schools from the Uni
versity at large,” he said. “(MBA and
MAC students) know that the payback
comes when they can take those skills to
an interview.”
Copland agreed that the distinction
should be made for professional schools,
but he questioned the large sum for the
new fee. “It just seems like a huge fee
increase, and it doesn’t seem like it
needs to be funded,” Copland said.
“There’s nothing in (the proposal) that
says students had any say in it.”
The student-fee increases require
approval by the BOG, which is sched
uled to meet Aug. 13.
Copland said the BOT had received
the fee proposal the night before its
Friday meeting and had not had enough
time to review it thoroughly. Thus the
board “rubber-stamped” the recommen
dations, he said.
“I’m hoping the BOG will look at
these fees very closely,” he said. “One
positive thing is that the Board of Gov
ernors has a lot longer to work on this.”

that effort, said agency President George
Hettich.
Hetdch said he hoped the agency
would receive more money this year.
“We’re up against tough competition
from the two houses already built.”
Moseley said he hoped attendance
this year would be higher than in previ
ous years. “I hope we will be able to
give everybody a little more money this
year.”
The festival began in 1981 in
Wilmington. Mike Boyd, who started
the festival, held the then back-yard
party, in honor of the blooming Crape
Myrtle tree.
The next year Boyd moved to
Carrboro for graduate school, and the
13-year tradition continued in the Tri
angle.
is located in 11 states, but is predomi
nantly located in Florida, with 180 stores
there.
“The quality of people that work here
makes Miami Subs different,” Woda
said.
Although Miami Subs is reporting
record sales, it has not adversely af
fected Subway across the street.
Jamil Qumeh, manager of the Sub
way at 132 E. Franklin St., said that
during the first couple of weeks that
Miami Subs was open last summer,
Subway’s sales were slightly lower, but
that the BOT did not have enough time
to examine the proposal.
“I find it very difficult for any board
member to review a packet almost an
inch thick in one night after the
chancellor’s barbecue.”
Bibbs said that the student-fee pro
posals from each of the 16 campuses
would be scrutinized by the board’s
Budget and Finance Committee.
“It’s my opinion that the fee proposal
needs to be reviewed very carefully,
and the Board of Governors has to use
its best judgment in determining the
needs of the campus as opposed to the
wants,” he said. “Clearly, some of these
fees, at first glance, are wants and will
be difficult to justify.”
Bibbs said raising student fees would
be hypocritical for anyone who fought
the N.C. Senate-proposed surcharge and
would go against N.C. constitutional
mandate to provide public higher edu
cation as close to free as practible.
“I would not expect this Board of
Governors to rubber-stamp any fee in
crease from any campus,” he said. “It’s
our job to sift through and determine
what’s needed and what could wait.”

Tim Fimmons, who reigned as queen
of the event in 1992, said people from
all over the country attended the event.
‘lt’s probably the most exciting event
of the year for our community. There
are literally hundreds of volunteers that
come and work together,” he said.
People who previously had been in
Chapel Hill for school and had relo
cated to Washington or California came
back to attend the festival, Fimmons
said.
“In a sense, it’s almost like a re
union,” he said.

Some UNC students say that Miami
Subs has been a welcome addition to the
downtown restaurant market.
Tracy Lentz, a junior from Greens

cause “they have a lot of different things
you can eat there, and it’s great that
they’re open so late.”
Chris Moore, a senior from
Kannapolis said, “Subway is cheaper
than Miami Subs, but I like to be able to
sit down in the restaurant to eat.”
BCC
from page 1
The BOT took two separate votes on
the BCC issue after meeting for two
hours in executive session. First, mem
bers voted 10-2 to build a BCC
outgoing BOT Chairman Robert
Strickland of Winston-Salem and Tho
mas Capps of Richmond, Va., voted
against the motion. Incoming member
Walter Davis was the only member of
the 13-member board absent Friday.
On the second motion to build the
BCC on the Coker site, the vote was 6-
3 with 2 abstentions. Copland, Angela
Bryant of Rocky Mount and Cressie
Thigpen of Raleigh voted against the
Coker site because they preferred the
Wilson-Dey site. Strickland and Annette
Wood of Edenton abstained.
Strickland said he would support the
construction of the BCC even though he
voted against it. “Now that the majority
has spoken, I think we should get be
hind it.”
The next step is to begin fund raising
for the BCC and convince N.C. citizens
that the center is worth; (he
Copland said. “Once the decision is
made, it’s time to move on,” he said.
“The board’s not going to reverse the
decision.
“Realistically, we should be very
happy that the BCC has been approved
by the board.”
Bradley said raising money for BCC
would begin this summer. “I think it’s
important to channel the anger to some
thing positive for the movement.”
He added that BCC supporters also
should focus on educating the Univer
sity community about the purpose of a
BCC. “Even on the Coker site, I think
the BCC will still have a positive im
pact (on the University).”
The BCC Advisory Board met
Wednesday to discuss the decision. At
press time, no statement was available
from advisory board Chairman andjour
nalism Professor Harry Amana or other
members of the board.
In other business, the BOT elected its
new officers: John Harris of Charlotte
as chairman, Wood as vice chairwoman
and Thigpen as secretary.

Student urges support
for National Service Act
WASHINGTON A UNC student
working for Youth Service America
this summer is urging N.C. citizens,
especially students, to call their U.S.
senators and show their support for the
National Service Trust Act.
Edward Marshall, a junior political
science and religious studies major from
Charlotte, is asking students to tell their
Republican senators to end their current
filibuster against the bill.
The service act, the focal point of
President Bill Clinton’s National Ser
vice Initiative, is designed to empower
youth to solve problems facing the na
tion, Edwards said.
“The act would originally provide
for 25,000 youth to participate in ser
vice to communities, receiving a $7,000
stipend per year, plus a $5,000 educa
tional award following each year of
service,” he said.
Labeled the “Domestic Peace Corps,”
the proposal was introduced in the Sen
ate last week and had received biparti
san support, but Sen. Bob Dole, R-
Kan., has called the bill a tax-and-spend
program and has rallied fellow Repub
licans to a filibuster to kill the bill.
Edwards said students should con
tact Sens. Jesse Helms and Lauch
Faircloth and tell them to vote to end the
filibuster.
“Now is the time to ask your senators
to put an end to the filibuster and vote
yes on the closure vote (today),"
Edwards said.
Helms’ number in Washington is
(202) 224-6342.
Faircloth’s number is (202) 224-
3154.
Candidates can file for
election until Aug. 6
Candidates who want a spot on the
Nov. 2 ballot can file for the election
until noon Aug. 6.
Candidates should file with the Or
ange County Board of Elections in
Hillsborough.
Chapel Hill Mayor Ken Broun so far
is the only official candidate for mayor.
There are five Chapel Hill Town
Council seats open and incumbents
Joyce Brown, Barbara Powell and Alan
Rimer already have announced their
plans to run for re-election.
Incumbents Julie Andresen and Art
Werner have opted not to vie for an
other term.
Chapel Hill residents Lee Pavao and
Rosemary Waldorf also have entered
the race.
Carrboro Mayor-Eleanor Kinnaird,
who ran uncontested in 1991 for her
third term, is the only official candidate
in Carrboro’s mayoral race.
Three Board of Aldermen seats are
open. Alderman Jacqueline Gist has
entered the race for another term, but
Alderman Tom Gurganus announced
that he did not want to seek re-election.
Incumbent Hilliard Caldwell said he
will announce his decision whether to
run next week.
Carrboro resident Michael Nelson
announced his plan to vie for a term.
Five residents have expressed inter
est in the three open seats on the Chapel
Hill-Carrboro Board of Education.
Incumbent and current chairwoman
Mary Bushnell has entered the race,
while incumbents Doug Breeden and
Ted Parrish have opted not to run.
Grainger Barrett, LaVonda Burnette,
Bea Hughes-Wemer and Mark Royster
also have entered the school board race.
