Quiznos 25 years of success and large numbers of loyal repeat
customers can be attributed in large part to good food. "This
is the best sandwich I ever ate!" are unsolicited words heard
frequently in Quiznos restaurants. The first Quiznos Sub restaurant
opened at 13th and Grant in Denver's Capitol Hill neighborhood
in 1981. Rick Schaden overheard that unsolicited comment from
a customer at a Quiznos Classic Subs just before he bought
his first franchise in Boulder, Colorado in 1987. Over the
next few years, he purchased two more franchises. In 1991,
he and his father, prominent aviation attorney Dick Schaden
of Boulder, bought the franchise operation, which consisted
of 18 restaurants. Today, with seasoned management, professional
franchise support systems and strong financial resources,
Quiznos is taking this "good food" success story throughout
the U.S. and across the globe.
