[Red Badger]

Their sub sank..................

[bk1000]

The company owns seven of its stores and has $400 million in debt?

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

They were sandwiched between a rock and a hard place!

[Secret Agent Man]

i can’t believe it won’t affect the franchises. like how suppliers deal with them and such.

[Steve_Seattle]

"The company owns seven of its stores and has $400 million in debt?"

I agree - that requires some explanation.

[Red Badger]

Their Po’ Boy got Torpedoed.........
Their Grinder is grounded...................

[E. Pluribus Unum]

"The company owns seven of its stores and has $400 million in debt?"

I suspect they used to own a lot more of them, but sold them off as the stores lost more and more money.

The only Quiznos I know of were open for a few years and then closed their doors.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

You wrote a couple of pretty cold cuts!

[Red Badger]

Their Hero was defeated........
Their Hoagie got hog tied.....................
Their Philly Cheese got staked.....................

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

Plus they had a half baked business model.

[FAA]

That’s about $190k per store.

Might they be financing their franchisees?

[Red Badger]

Their Rocket got shot down............
Their Blimpie burst...........
Their Tunnel caved in..................
Their Zeppelin did a nose dive..................
Their Cuban got smoked...................

[InterceptPoint]

I ate there once. I eat at Del Taco a couple of times a week. You need a good product at a good price to make it in the fast food business.

[FunkyZero]

What really sucks is that it is a pretty good sandwich shop compared to the other options around here

[married21]

You could see it coming. Long before they hit bankruptcy their buns were toast.

[BuffaloJack]

There was a Quiznos store one block from where I work. I tried their sandwiches at least 10 or more times before I gave up and returned to Subway (3 blocks further away). They always put too much vinegar in their sauces.

[Brooklyn Attitude]

NOOOO! Their subs were great compared to the dry tasteless ones from Subway.

[Brooklyn Attitude]

There was a Quiznos that closed 2 miles form my house. The thing that struck me was they had 3 people to make a sandwich. One to assemble the sub, another to toast, add the non toastable ingredients and wrap it, and another as cashier. Seemed pretty inefficient.

[GraceG]

I Blame their crappy ads that looked lke crap and sounded like crap...
