Quiznos franchise narrowly avoids bankruptcy

It's only my opinion, but Subway, Jimmy John's, and Which Wich don't offer sandwiches nearly as good as Quiznos. When it comes to quality, Subway is the absolute worst. Yes, Quiznos does cost more. But I'd rather pay more and get something I actually enjoy eating. My concern is that Quiznos will end up lowering their quality to meet a certain price point. If that happens, I won't be going back. People want quality, but they're not willing to pay for it.

they taste good! but they should get their heads together if they think they can charge 10$ for bread and cold cuts

For what they charge for a sandwich, I would rather go to a regular restruant and have a good meal.

I go there once in a while. The food is good. but the prices could be better. There are plenty of other places I can go for a decent lunch.

Quizno's prices are outrageous on everything they sell when I am not at subway I go to the best fresh deli/produces seller of subs in my eyes priced about like quizno's and tastes 100 times better Larry's subs. Sorry Quizno's can't make it but there is only 2 sub places worth my business and millions others

IMO the "gourmet sandwich" food fad is over. One recently opened up in my town on a busy suburban downtown main street. I walk in on the first day and the staff is right on target with their well trained pitch. I looked at the prices and they all went silent. I told her their prices are two to three dollars more than they should be in this town to do the volume they need for solvency. The manager and later I found the franchisee walked in noticeably upset. I offered to buy one of their large turkey clubs for half price for opening day. Manager threw me out even after I told her I owned a business in one of the nearby office buildings. The place only lasted six months before there was brown paper on the glass with a notice of closing and thanks to "all their customers." IMO, that Subway two blocks away and the local Ma & Pa liquor store who makes killer deli sandwiches didn't have any of their business affected.

Subway changed the whole game with the $5 footlong. Quiznos will be gone soon enough.

they charge more for their sandwiches...lower the price and you'll see a turnaround...

that's where they are failing. i pay 8 dollars for a 6 inch sub and i'm still hungry afterwards.

It must be hard to sell crappy sandwiches for gourmet prices these days. Most of their stores in my neighborhood have gone out of business and I'm not surprised having had a couple of their sandwiches.

I worked at quiznos. The franchise owner wanted me to teach illegals working there english. I gave them a crash course as i walked out the door flipping them off. Norfolk Va.

I went to Quiznos once in my life. They put so little meat and so much lettuce in my sub I was basically eating nothing but the bread my sandwich is supposed to come in. Compared to their competitors, Subway, Potbelly's etc., and the fact that Quizno's is even more expensive while simultaneously skimping on the fixings, it's a no-brainer to not eat at Quizno's. And I never have since.

The beef they use is around 1/3 gristle....at least that's about how much of my sandwich I spit out the last time I ate there. They have good salads and soup...just overpriced. Good luck basing a business model on that Quiznos.

I knew a couple franchisees, and they were not happy with Quiznos. But then, from what I understand, people love their franchise for the first 5 years or so, then they regret they ever heard of them.
Me, I didn't buy a franchise, I opened up my own shop. And I can tell you the best bit of advice I never followed -- never go into a business that is regulated by the government. Mine was regulated by the State of Texas, and they made being honest and profitable impossible. Yep, I'm out of business, but I'm still honest.

If I want toasted bread with a little bit of meat added I can do that at home.

Quiznos' prices are terrible because the franchisees need to charge those prices just to break even. The Quiznos franchise requires franchisees to purchase everything for the store, down to the toilet paper in the restrooms, from the Quiznos franchise at outrageous, non-competitive prices. That's the only thing keeping the franchise afloat: screwing anyone who was gullible enough to open a Quiznos. Back in the early part of last decade almost half of Quiznos were losing money rather than turning a profit and a quarter of Quiznos opened with a small business loan failed, leaving franchisees hundres of thousand or even millions in debt. Once the recession hit they started dropping like flies and counties that were full of Quiznos have few, if any, left. They're almost as hard to find as A&Ws.

a novelty but way overpriced and very unhealthy

Americans are stupid. Eat real food for cheaper and this article wont exist. You are fools.

I don't go to any place who sells subs because they offer carb calorie rich bread and the salads are as pricy as a soup/ salad at for 1 Olive Garden--2 Applebees--3any other places soup/salad that isn't a sub place.

gotta know why the gay oven or bi sexual one at the very least.come on ron put it in mee
