A friend tries to convince my wife to join her to buy a Quiznos Sub. I
did a
little investigation on web. Surprisingly, found many Quiznos restaurants
are for sale in Canada, as compared to only a few for Subway. Well, it
seems
there are many many more Subway's than Quiznos around. I feel something
wrong, but our friend can't give a reason.

I love the taste of Quiznos, and it's better than Subway for me. From my
visits to the quiznos nearby, its business looks good. It's a little
pricy,
I think it's because of the use of unprocessed meat (healthier?). But why
so
many owners want to sell it?

"It's a little pricey" is a dealbreaker for many (including myself).
When I eat at Subway, I like the "Daily Specials." $2.99, U.S., for a
sandwich loaded with veggies, usually something like cold cuts or
turkey breast or tuna (for the Snappers amongst us).

The Quiznos nearby the Subway I go to (Santa Cruz, CA, which stands for
California, not Canada, because of the greater population in CA than in
all of Ca) is usually nearly empty, with nobody in line. I often look
in as I am walking the Subway, further down the main street.

By contrast, the Subway often has 4-6 people in line.

People value deals. They don't like paying $6 (U.S.) for some sandwich
supposed having "unprocessed" (what is that, exactly?) meat.

The meats at Subway taste perfectly fine to me. Ham, salami, etc. are
all "processed."

This is likely why so many Quiznos franchises are for sale as compared
to Subway franchises. People like value for their money.

P.S. I've even eaten at Quiznos a few times. I didn't care for the
elaborate toasting, the relatively small amount of meats, and the whole
"tude" thing. Give me an honese Subway sandwich, no toasting, just the
real deal, any day. At half the price.

I've only eaten at Quiznos once, and had much the same reaction to it as
you. I had decided to try it on the recommendation of a friend who'd eaten
there for lunch the day before, but I couldn't see what all the fuss was
about. Subway is fine for what they offer.
