The Rapid Rise And Disastrous Fall Of Quiznos

[@PasleyAviationPhotography]

I was working in computer sales at Frys Electronics in Phoenix in the mid 2000's. A quiznos opened up across the street, to promote it they dropped off a ton of coupons where if you bought a drink you got any sandwich free, no expiration. I found the stack in our breakroom and swiped them all into my locker. I ate there every day for months, now that Quiznos, Frys and my physique are all gone.

[@websoldier4576]

you broke both companies!

[@kennymorelandiii9406]

Lol I had a stack full of those exact same promos and did the same as there was one within like a 2 minute walking distance of one of the first jobs I had as a teen. So ate good every day for almost a year. That French dip sandwich they had with the peppercorn dressing was so damn good and the main sandwich I got especially when it was cold out as I worked outside mostly. I knew the place wasn't going to last because I feel like 98% of the time I would go into that restaurant which was in a busy shopping center I was usually the only customer there and maybe they would have 1 max 2 others at busy, usual lunch times. You could tell it was brutal there and a ticking time bomb.

[@wailingalen]

2000s the age of coupons

[@LD-EconInsights]

I was like that too and had to go back to healthy eating to slowly get back in shape.

[@Tyler-q3k]

Honestly I'd do the same thing. 😂

[@pdreding]

You missed that the monkey characters were not original to the ads. They first appeared in "We Love the Moon", an early memetic web animation, and Quiznos simply bought the rights to use them.

[@smittykins]

And it was pronounced SPONG-monkeys(hard G).

[@ronaldslater4703]

The irony here in downtown ATL, is that there's a Quiznos that has outlasted Subway (3 locations), Popeyes, McDonald's (both locations), Arby's & Burger King. 🤷🏿‍♂️

As a GSU grad from many years ago, it’s comforting to know it’s still hanging on. The manager was so nice when I went!

"We love the subs!".... an incredibly bizarre commercial but it did its job. Almost 20 years later and I still instantly correlate that phrase and Quiznos

[@ericbangs5116]

I used to work with a guy whose family was a franchise owner. He could never talk about what happened with the legal battle they won, other than they had to shut down, and they still own the franchise rights to the area.

[@Lawrence_Talbot]

Quiznos was our favorite sub shop growing up. I loved their BBQ Brisket sub. Leaps and bounds better than subway or any other competitor.

[@BeyondDaX]

Yep, they could have remained in better business if they trademark toasted subs somehow

[@EChacon]

Besides the SpongMonkeys (which are Tarsiers) and the "Quiznos 5,4,3" commercials, the most memorable thing on Quiznos was its slogan/motto: _"Quiznos….Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm Toasty."_

[@tonythehappynerd7241]

I liked that slogan

[@SimuLord]

I still say that on a hot summer day. "It is mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm TOASTY outside!"

[@WastedTalent-]

I miss the Steakhouse Beef Dip. Thankfully, I found a recipe for the sauce and au jus and make my own version. Quiznos blew Subway out of the water.

[@dav8388]

Can you please share the recipe. I have tried to make a couple copy cat recipes and can get really close with the sauce but can never get the au jus right

[@angelinacamacho8575]

i came for the sponge monkies.....but I stayed for the pepper bar.

[@BaldManInTexas]

THEY GOT A PEPPER BAR!!! was the marketing phrase that stuck in my head from their commercials.

[@bkpass2992]

My first job was at a quiznos. Man i miss that place. I loved their food.

[@julianortiz4151]

It wasn’t the quirky commercials that did them in… it was the declining quality of their subs that did it. They expanded too quickly without a plan for their suppliers to keep up with the demand and they started substituting lower quality ingredients and the taste just wasn’t the same.

[@quanbrooklynkid7776]

No surprise

[@ChubbsTheCat]

There were only two small shops in a 40 mile radius of where I live. The portions drastically decreased as well, sub size got considerably smaller and weighing portions of bacon etc. Went from healthy portions to super limited.

[@ghostface5559]

and paired with their higher price and easy to replicate business they faded away,

[@BeersAndBeatsPDX]

What did them in is that they became their own supplier and exponentially raised prices to franchisees.

[@fromthehaven94]

Whichever ones were in Columbus, Ohio where I live, the subs were toasted, but the meat was still cold. Which makes me wonder why Quiznos is positively compared to Subway, which at least had the option to warm up cold sandwiches. If the expenses of each franchisee aren't what killed Quiznos, the spider monkeys sure did.

[@teamsteed1]

Thank you for posting the video. I've always wonder about the rise and fall of Quiznos.

[@slaytanicsabbath]

Isn’t it odd timing?

[@jer103]

[@BigDadGigaCHAD]

I LOVED QUIZNOS, their baja chicken sandwich is my all-time favorite sandwich. It's even where I met my wife 20 years ago.

[@joeybaseball7352]

Quiznos was way better than Subway. When I was a kid, I ate quizos all the time. I was a die-hard subway loyalist, until a friend told me how good quiznos was. Once I tried Quiznos, I was immediately hooked, and I never went back to subway. Even to this day, I've had subway maybe 5 times in the past 20 years. Once you've had quiznos, subway just doesn't cut it anymore. Quiznos is sorely missed.

[@eagleeye2300]

CORRECT 💯

[@nekbiodieselworks]

The grocery store makes better subs than subway

[@kennymorelandiii9406]

Everything is better than subway atleast Everything in the past 2 decades or so. Honestly surprised to see so many still open as they don't seem to get much business. I'm convinced a good number of them are just used to launder dirty money or something haha

[@pjb4653]

How does Subway thrive? Can't tell me there's not a conspiracy going on lol especially Jared and Jeffery 😭

[@monkeykidd420]

​@@nekbiodieselworksI mean that depends on the grocery store. If any of those stores use boarheads meat that I wouldn't eat there, you should look up all the recalls that company has had. I'd be weary about eating from any subplace without knowing the source of where shit comes from

[@Audi0Ashes]

When I was in college, I got Quiznos almost everyday for lunch since there was one on campus. The only place to get it. Now, there’s not in a city about 25-30 min away, which isn’t bad. This just brought back my love for the Peppercorn Steak sandwich lol

[@Wanderlust2430]

They had the best Cuban Sandwiches in a 5 mile radius when I was going to college, ironically... In florida. Only other place to get one that good (And better) was the ACTUAL cuban owned bar 20 miles further down the road.

[@amazonstorm]

I worked at. Quiznos for little bit before I got laid off. I loved their subs and I miss them.

[@justonemori]

You got me wanting a chicken cabo, that was good stuff. They went from everywhere to not even a single one in my state. Damn them!

[@midas1108]

I'm in Michigan and while there are several locations here, they're all over by Detroit. However, a friend and I went to Costa Rica recently and there was one near the hotel our last day there, so she gamely allowed me to drag her along. This allowed our trip activites to look like: zip lining, kayaking, jungle hikes, Quiznos.

[@bremflo]

I worked for Quiznos for a number of years. After they hired that Burger King exec Greg Brenneman the entire menu got wrecked. They got rid of the hoagie bread for the Steakhouse beef dip which ruined a core staple menu item (Normal bread for au jus - stupid), changed the toasting levels for the bread (no more deep blackened edges I mean look at @10:41 its barely warm), and added numerous failed products like bread bowls and garlic bread to the menu while cutting back on quality. But damn, that chicken carbonara....

[@pvanukoff]

Man, I should've been a CEO. You can swoop in, do your job poorly, and still make bank. Then move on to the next company.

[@mikeomatic9905]

Oh how I hated cutting those bread bowls up! But it was worse when the new employees did them, because then you'd be trying to fill them with soup and they'd be too small, or they'd leak. I knew it was the beginning of the end though when they got rid of ciabatta. And then the smoked turkey and roasted red pepper sauce.

[@bremflo]

I didn't mind the bread bowel prep IIRC, the one that got me was the "Triple Q" with that special two blade knife to trisect the bread. What were they thinking...?

Quizno's Carbonara was amazing... Went to one down the street one day back in 2006, and there were just closed. No sign, no warning.. Just no one inside working.

[@TheMythey]

I'd love it if you could make a video talking about the history of another sandwich chain, Which Wich? I love how customizable their sandwiches are and the unique ordering method of having the customer writing their sandwich choices onto the paper bags. You were also encouraged to draw on the back of your sandwich bag when you were done and then attach it to the wall along with all the other customer's art-covered bags! They also made the world's best ice cream milkshakes. There used to be one inside my local Target, and then another stand-alone shop in the next city over. Now they're both gone and the stand-alone shop has been replaced by an Ike's Love and Sandwiches and the Target one has been replaced by basically a self-checkout soda fountain with grab-and-go pizza shelves. The Pizza Hut branded pies are premade, reheated on site, offer zero customization, and are quietly stocked by anonymous employees in the back that you never interact with. The next closest Which Wich? is now more than 35 miles away, and they've almost all but completely vanished from LA county.

[@dennislogan6781]

I worked at Quizno's during the sponge monkeys days. I really enjoyed my time there. The food was good, the pay was good, and my co workers were mostly great. They just didn't pay enough to keep me there.

[@mikeomatic9905]

Yeah pay was mediocre, but I made sure to get a 12" peppercorn steak sub every day for half price!

[@stonecodfish2365]

For a brief while this was our go to office lunch pick and I always thought it was tasty but expensive. At least it beat the pants off Subway.

[@TonyGearSolid]

There was a Quiznos by my old job that I'd eat at almost everyday, it practically shut down overnight and the next day I went there it was completely empty. The last remaining Quiznos in my area was in a shopping plaza next to a Target, it was kind of out of the way to get to and I wasn't surprised when it eventually shut down as well.

[@hylianarmy0]

I wasn't made aware of Quiznos until long after the Sponge Monkey ads stopped airing. I was shown them much later and was bewildered. There were once five Quiznos in my city. They slowly began vanishing, one by one, starting in 2017. The last one closed in 2022, and I was quite upset. If I wanted to get my hands on a Chicken Carbonara (my favorite!) with a side of Batch 83, I would now have to travel over an hour in either direction on the highway to do it.

[@Nola5427]

The few that I ate at in my hometown, seemed to struggle from day 1; I worked in downtown Fort Worth, and the one there constantly got orders wrong or took longer than anticipated to get orders out. The one in my neighborhood took forever to open (at one point the opening was delayed bc the franchisee ran out of money & it had to be sold to new owners bf it finally opened). Never had an issue with the quality of their food, or their ads, but the ones I visited always seemed to be “not prepared” for customers..

[@GrnArrow092]

It's a real shame how things went down with Quiznos. At their peak, Quiznos had four locations in my area and all of them closed as fast as they opened. Quiznos didn't treat their franchisees very well and cause a lot of them to go broke due to poor business practices. I honestly miss Quiznos because despite what happened between the corporation and their franchisees, I loved their sandwiches. I would eat there as often as I could. There are no locations left in New England since the fall of Quiznos and if I wanted to go to there, the nearest location to me is all the way down in Washington, DC.

[@suralos]

I tried to eat at Quiznos once because Subway had did not have any toasted sandwiches. The only way to get a hot sandwich at Subway was to have them use their microwave. The sandwich Quiznos offered did not taste good at all and that location closed down to later become a Papa Murphy's. Another Quiznos location was about open and even sent out flyer coupons in anticipation of their grand opening. When I arrived the location had not opened but they claimed it would at some point. It never did and in fact that location was remodeled and became a Subway, by which time Subway started offering their sandwiches with a toasted option.

[@tomsenior7405]

This was fascinating stuff. Cheers. Obviously, I had no idea what constituted a Quiznos. Why would I? The ads you exhibited seem akin to the Tango ad campaign; weird, bizarre and random, with a slim thread being popular with the younger demographic. I wonder, was the bread not really bread? I recall Subway facing issues with their sugary loaf when they tried to break into overseas markets. Or, is it just a normal thing in the States to expect bread substitute, making it tacit?

[@XIIINoir]

We still have a few Quiznos here in Metairie Louisiana, often busy. Metairie is full of shops like Jimmy Johns, Jersey Mikes, Subways, Charley's, McAllister's, and Jason's Deli. All in close proximity and Quiznos have doing well for years. Maybe my taste buds are shot, but I prefer Quiznos over the others.

[@ShadowLordxsx]

Back years ago I worked at a Quinos and i got to be really good friends with the owner. As I was curious as to opening one myself, he dead eye looked me in the face and said "don't". He told me the place was taking in $259k yearly, but all the franchise costs left him with $25k

When it comes to Quiznos exclusive deal with Pepsi, it lasted until 2021 when it expired & Quiznos went back to selling Coke products. It also ended because Pepsi signed an exclusive deal with Jersey Mikes around that same time. Also when it comes to Coke having an exclusive deal with Subway, it only applies in the US as up in Canada, Pepsi products are sold instead.

There was still one attached to a gas station in South Louisiana where I grew up but I think the direct hit by hurricane Ida in 2021 killed it off (along with my house and vehicle).

I used to live right next to the original Quiznos in Denver around 2019/2020. The area isn't as fancy as the narrator here lets on. But more than that, by the time I lived there any semblance of uniqueness that might have come with being the original store was well and truly gone. It had been gutted and replaced by a completely cookie-cutter Quiznos, save for the sign out front which still marked it was the original. I was disappointed. Since it was literally right next door, I was probably one of like, a dozen people still going there while the pandemic hit. Even before the pandemic though, it always seemed fairly low on customers, often empty.
