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 totally agree with Tim. Quiznos isn't a dealmaker. I've tried it three
times and was disappointed each time. I prefer Subway as well.

I like both but when I lived "up north" we often ate at Cousin's Subs.
They are better than both and the price falls in the middle. They
should be all over Jerry's 'hood...
