But why do they even have laws about sandwiches in the first place?

Read the article. It's a zoning issue.

I'm sorry sir, this is a sandwich only zone. You and your parfait need to leave immediately.

Something existing does not answer the question about WHY it exists.

I’m not sure if this particular article explained, but I live here. He signed an agreement that stated that “any food business allowed would be a ‘subway’ style food business”

That’s the issue

Edit: I’m a huge fan of this taco place, just stating what’s going on. I hate subway.

That isn't a law or zoning then, just some contract dispute.

They are trying to exclude traditional fast food like McD's,Wendy's, etc.

Could be food safety, taxes, production rules or any number of things.

The article does not mention any sandwich specific laws, just contract stuff about what kind of restaurant can be in a strip mall.
