The sign also says "SUBWAY FRANCHISE AVAILABLE", which suggests that the franchise comes along with renting the storefront.
I wasn't a "fan", but I did go there sometimes when they inserted a coupon booklet in the Globe.
Even with this location closed, Somerville has more Subways than it has of any other major national fast-food chain*. Four Subways (Powderhouse Circle, Wilson Square, Union Square, Winter Hill) vs one McDonalds (Twin City Plaza), one Burger King (across from Target), one Au Bon Pain (Davis Square), no Wendy's, no KFCs, and no Taco Bells.
(* I'm not counting Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks, which aren't really the same kind of place.)
