Quiznos, once a major sandwich franchise with roughly 4,700 U.S. locations, has dramatically shrunk to just 148 today. Founded in 1981 by chef Jimmy Lambatos, Quiznos thrived on high-quality toasted sandwiches and a premium dining atmosphere. However, the introduction of a steep 30% sourcing fee strained franchisee relationships, leading to mass closures. Currently, the remaining outlets are primarily located in California and Washington, raising questions about the future of the brand in a competitive sandwich market plagued by previous operational challenges.
"Quiznos was once a major player with over 4,700 locations in the U.S., but due to operational issues and high fees, it dwindled to just 148."
"The initial success of Quiznos came from founder Jimmy Lambatos' focus on quality ingredients and an upmarket dining experience, which attracted franchisees."
