Remember Subway ’s $5 footlong? The popular value sandwich may not be back, but the chain is officially jumping into the fast-food value wars this week.

For the first time in its nearly 60-year history, Subway Tuesday rolled out a permanent Fresh Value Menu with 15 entrée options under $5, shifting away from limited-time deals as it takes on value-focused rivals like McDonald's and KFC.

Subway’s value menu is divided into three main categories, with the first being Deli Faves, which include four customizable six-inch sandwiches – such as a BLT, Cold Cut Combo, Spicy Pepperoni and Ham & Salami – priced at $3.99.

Protein Pockets, tortilla wraps with more than 20 grams of protein, also start at $3.99, with options like Baja Chicken, Peppercorn Ranch Chicken, Italian Trio and Turkey Ham.

Finally, a rotating Sub of the Day will be available for $4.99, featuring a different six-inch sandwich each day of the week.
