I guess you haven't been doing low-carb for long, because the best
low-carb products that are really good run in very short supply and
regularly become unavailable.

Heinz One-Carb Ketchup has been missing from Super Stop-n-sSHops in
the area for 4 weeks, they just came back in stock. Ben-and-Jerry Carb
Karma are very difficult to find. I found one A&P that stocked any
flavor other than Almond Swiss. Mission tortillas JUST showed up
locally despite others posting over several months they showed up and
ran out in many other places. When low-carb products are out of
stock--it may be a sign of demand outstripping supply and have little
to do with the retail outlet ability to manage their business. Subway
may be not able to get it's suppliers to meet demand. I havent' been
in a subway in the last 4-5 weeks but previously I have gone
repeatedly all over the NY-NJ-CT tristate area and none of them were
ever out of stock of the wraps. The Doritos Edge took longer to
distribute, and the Atkins cookies came awhile after that. I only ate
the cookies once, and I don't think the cookie I ate was low-carb.
Simply too rich and sweet.

Perhaps... all subways everywhere should simply drop all low-carb
offerings because they are too popular to meet demand. Yeah, that's
the ticket.
