Although a handful of franchisees already offer avocado as a sandwich topping option, Subway will rollout the item nationwide next week.
According to USA Today, Subway will offer a Turkey and Bacon Avocado sandwich to promote the preservative-free, 100-percent avocado spread.
Adding the spread as a sandwich option will add between 50 cents and $1 to a ticket. The option will also be available on Subway's breakfast menu.
Subway will complement the rollout with TV spots featuring Olympians Michael Phelps and Apolo Ohno.
