Quiznos: Franchise Business Outlook

Description of business

Quiznos is one of the most rapidly-expanding fast food franchises in America. It is similar to Subway or Blimpee's in that it provides a variety of hot and cold subs, some of which are healthy, others of which are not so healthy. Quiznos offers several uniquely flavored subs, like its prime rib subs, but it mainly distinguishes itself from its competitors based upon the famous taste of its toasted subs. Like its main competitors, Quiznos also offers customers the option of buying salads and soups as well, and a variety of seasonal and weekly specials and combo meals.

Although Quiznos does have 'lighter' options, it does not have the particularly healthy image that Subway has crafted, through Subway's effective use of its 'Jared' weight-loss campaign. However, Quiznos has cornered the market on tasty hot subs with its "mmm...toasty" slogan. Taste is of greatest importance in its marketing endeavors, as it boasts that its subs are "chef-inspired, made on our own proprietary bread with fresh meats and cheeses sliced daily for freshness, and toasted to perfection" ("Quiznos Questions," 2007, Quiznos Franchises Website). Ensuring that the subs are toasted properly and served to customers warm is thus a critical part of being an effective franchise operator of a Quiznos. Quiznos states that it is fast food, but fast food 'done well'.

Business outlook

According to the independent trade publication Nation's Restaurant News, the Quiznos Sub-franchise is the fastest growing chain of franchise restaurants, as measured in sheer number of U.S. units. It was ranked the second "Best Overall Franchise" by Entrepreneur Magazine in 2006, and was ranked third best in terms of its increases in sales. These statistics bode well for any potential franchise owner, particularly a potential owner that desires to eventually own more than one Quiznos.

One reason for this rapid expansion may be the relatively broad range of food options offered by the franchise. This makes going a Quiznos franchise an easy 'compromise' food option for dining out, in that consumers can find either salads or soups, light or hearty fare, at the same location. Also, there is the long-standing popularity and ease of eating sandwiches for lunch. It is easy to get the food 'to go' and to eat it in a car or at one's desk at work. Quiznos that are located near busy offices or establishments like hospitals and schools are likely to benefit from consumer's positive feelings about the quickness of preparation and consumption of sandwiches.

Finally, one of the most important keys to Quiznos' success may be the many non-traditional location sites the franchise has explored, ranging from campuses to convenience stores, airports to truck stops, business, industrial, and convention centers to hospitals, sports venues and casinos to military bases ("Non-traditional sites," 2007, Quiznos Franchises Website). The willingness of the franchise to target such non-traditional food purveying venues bodes well for the overall health of the franchise in the future.

Revenue estimation

Estimated revenue from the franchise varies, depending on the location and size of the franchise. However, one Quiznos established in 2003, in a "great location" near a hospital with "street visibility" was recorded as having a below-projected monthly cash flow of $5,403 ("Quiznos Sub-Sandwich Shop," 2007, Absentee Owner Business for Sale). These figures for the Arizona Quiznos were based… READ MORE
