The X Posted July 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2022 Well my experience went well. Thought it was good for a chain. Was is mind blowing no. Would I eat again? Yes. Definately no mom and pop sub shop. But yeah overall pretty good. I was on the fence of Jersey Mike's or here. Never had it so I decided to give it a try.

They charged too much for a franchise and then screwed all the owners over making them buy from only their selected suppliers which were as expensive as it gets. There wasn’t a way to profitably and happily own one. Before they closed my last local one, the Korean guy that owned it was totally miserable and resentful towards them and how impossible they made it be even worth owning. A real shame bc there was no reason for them to be so greedy just to compete with Subway, Mcdonald’s and Chic Fil-A. 2 of the 3 are garbage. God their sandwiches were good though. I had a buddy in college that worked there and used to hook me up with the prime rib peppercorn sandwich. A small and he would put beyond the large sized amounts of meat on it. I usually resort to Jimmy Johns these days but they pretty much suck. Jersey Mikes is slightly better but not right around the corner from me. I wish Quiznos would come back.

The X Posted July 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2022 Quiznos basically put themselves out of business. They had a Tremendous franchise with good subs. But they overflooded the market with their own franchise. They had one every 2miles apart. Basically mushed themselves. Sucks, because it was really good.

It’s weird not to see them around anymore.

KingKolzig Posted July 8, 2022 Report Share Posted July 8, 2022 the jersey mikes cutting the meat right in front of you is the biggest schtick ive ever seen lol. place sucks no value whatsoever Quiznos never would have survived now anyways they actually put meat in their sandwiches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gmcarroll33 Posted July 8, 2022 Report Share Posted July 8, 2022 The best place near me is a place called Baldinos. Their bread is cooked fresh every day and all the sandwhiches are as good as I can find. I refuse to eat most chain sub spots, but I had a soft spot for Quiznos. Jimmy Johns is just convenient at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All down hill from there. I didn’t say you didn’t. It certainly wouldn’t have helped and added on the basic failing economical plan of charging heavy fees for a franchise and forcing them to use distributors that charged the highest possible prices. A Quiznos right around the corner would have made it useless for both under those conditions. There has to be a way they can make a comeback. Maybe under a new name or ownership, but they were too good vs the other garbage chains to just go out of business with no way to sustain the idea.

The X Posted July 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2022 Well I hope they do make a comeback. Much better quality than Subway. And I'll give Subway a little props over the past couple of years. Much better quality meats. But still nothing like an old fashioned deli.

BGS 9.5 Posted July 8, 2022 Report Share Posted July 8, 2022 Agreed with everything said about Quiznos. When I first moved to Orlando they seemed to be all over; definately the chain of choice in late 90s and early 00s. Then they seemingly disappeared overnight Enjoyed Firehouse while they lasted but the one around the corner from me folded it tent right when Covid started which I found strange as they were always hella busy The nice thing with central Florida is there are mom and pop shops all over that are better and cheaper.

KingKolzig Posted July 9, 2022 Report Share Posted July 9, 2022 be about $50 to feed a family of 4 at a chain sub shop a pound of the best deli turkey would still be about $10 most restaurants are done eventually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
