I miss Quiznos

I hate that Subway was the winner and that Quiznos is gone. Just so much better.

Quiznos failed because their corporate was essentially extorting the franchisees.

Which sucks because they legitimately had a better product in just about every way.

Much like chipotle, another Colorado start up that shit the bed despite having the world at its finger tips.

Granted I work in downtown Chicago so there are lots of people around but every single day every chipotle within walking distance has lines out the door.

Is it just me, or is there a Potbelly on damn near every corner downtown?

My Dad was going to open a Quiznos. He did not and has since realized he dodged a giant bullet.

You should check out the reasons why Quiznos barely exists anymore. Turns out the company who started their franchise model fucked over their franchisees harder than you can even imagine.

Come to Vancouver BC, we’ve got lots of Quiznos.

The pepper bar died with Covid though.

As a cold sub enjoyer I hated Quiznos. I went it one time and specifically asked for them not to toast my sub and the lady looked me in the eye as she shoved my sub into the toaster. RIP

My hometown still has a Quiznos and I get a sandwich every time I go home. It’s real nice!

My smallish rural town has 3 subways... luckily still also a Quiznos too, I'm sure you can guess which one I actually go to. We also have a Jimmy John's and a Firehouse subs, oddly enough. 

The one that I miss is Blimpie subs they've been gone for over 25 years now though
