Quiznos Sub is the upscale sandwich concept designed for today's busy customers who are looking for a tasty, fresher alternative to traditional fast food restaurants. Headquartered in Denver, Quiznos was founded in 1981 by the Rick Schaden family and was incorporated in 1991. With more than 3,500 franchisee owned restaurants throughout the United States and in more than 20 countries worldwide including Puerto Rico, Canada, the UK, Japan, Australia, Switzerland, Netherlands, Luxemburg, Belgium, Iceland, Mexico, Venezuela, Peru, Dominican Republic and other Caribbean Islands, Taiwan, Central America and Guam.
With a new location opening every 16 hours, Quiznos Sub is one of the fastest-growing sandwich chains in the world. Quiznos is well known for our made-to-order, oven-toasted subs and a variety of signature subs, such as the Honey Bourbon Chicken, BBQ Chipotle Carved Turkey, or Honey Bacon Club.
Quiznos restaurants' upscale décor is designed to convey an Italian deli ambiance and to match the upscale quick service market niche represented by the product. Open kitchens allow customers to watch, as their sandwiches are prepared. The décor package for the Restaurants includes reproductions of Italian food product labels, and hand-painted Italian style posters. The Italian theme is prevalent throughout a Quiznos Restaurant.
The Restaurants are also located in mall food courts and are designed to operate in smaller spaces while retaining the same ambiance and décor as a traditional Quiznos Restaurant. "Quiznos Express" Restaurants are typically smaller units established at non-traditional locations such as convenience and gasoline stations, sports facilities, hospitals, and college campuses.
In addition to dynamic colleagues, we offer a competitive salary and benefits package including health and dental, 401(k), disability, profit sharing, bonus potential and much more.
In 1978, Terrell Braly, along with a group of investors, converted a closed Sinclair gas station at 1275 Grant Street, Denver, Colorado into a sandwich shop called "Sandwich World". Hussain "Jeff" Jaffarie, the store manager at the time, began the practice of toasting sandwiches in a pizza oven that had been provided by Tombstone Pizza.
In 1979, a competing restaurant opened across the street from the converted fuel station. Trading as Footers Restaurant and owned by Jimmy Lambatos and Todd Disner, this business offered to buy the larger and better located Sandwich World operation. The take-over was accepted in early 1980. The new owners of Sandwich World changed the name to Quiznos and began a franchising operation.
In 2002, Wendy's acquired the rights to the brand for franchises in Australia (and later, New Zealand) but were unsuccessful in launching the chain in either country.
Although Quiznos may not have originated the concept of toasted sandwich, many competitors began offering similar sandwiches. Subway began offering toasted "subs" in 2004, Boston Market in 2005, and Blimpie in 2006.
As of 2009, Quiznos is currently a privately held Limited Liability Company. Rick Schaden remains as Chairman with his family controlling the company.
