I think most of them closed down where I live the past 10 years. I thin there's some still around.
Problem was when subs were a big thing, Quiznos was probably double the price of Subway. Yeah, toasted subs were nice. But they were small and overpriced. I remember way back Subway footlongs were $7 CDN, and Quiznos was like $11. Probably the most expensive fast food at the time where it broke $10 and didnt even come with a drink.
I dont think the avg eater cares about subs that much to pay a lot of money for a long sandwich.

Quiznos is much better than a lot of places. I think they went out of business because people didn't like paying $20 for a sub even if it was superior. I know of 2 locations still open in my state.

Why go there when you can get the Louisiana Chicken with double meat at Mr Sub?

Jersey Mike subs seem to be cropping up where I live. They look good, but the large sized subs are literally $20 CDN. No thanks.
Quizons was BY FAR, the superior rock bottom sub chain. Subway is such utter trash, but the Quiz was the better alternative, at least in my area. These days you got Jersey Mike's, Firehouse, Hot Belly, that "write it on the bag" place, etc so for franchise chain sub places neither Quiznos or Subway really should still exist.
But you give me a real, authentic, New York style deli joint with a 100 different hunks of meat and cheese in the case, a buncha brothers working the back with grandma calling out orders, and a grill that's been hot through WW2 AND WW1, that's the joint!

I had my first one recently and they absolutely doused it in some oily sauce (I didn't order it myself, someone else did) so the bread was soggy. That sauce was dripping all over the place. Extra wasn't asked for so it seems it's just what they do I guess? I mean I'm sure you can tell them to hold off on it but yeah, that first experience was not good, I took a few bites and was done and ordered firehouse lol it may have also not been normal and the person working there was an idiot.
I guess just be aware of whatever the oily shit is that they may drown it in. I'm willing to give it another go someday without it.

I've never heard of it, but it's understandable.
For $10 you can make 4 subs with the premium ingredients you like.... $20 for 1.... Well

37 miles from me, no thank you.
When I was working at wingstore for my sister, the folks at Quiznos would trade their subs for our wings, good times.

Quiznos lost me long ago when they decided to have that rat abomination with human teeth and lips as a mascot.

I have always prefered Quiznos to Subway, nowadays, I just go to places like Subway City to get my subs. I have always hated Subway

I ate Subway multiple times practically every week during college/grad school and for a few years afterwards; then one day all of sudden, I took one of their subs home, managed to only eat half of it, and thought to myself, "Did I really enjoy this garbage for the last decade?" lol
It's a shame most sandwich places near me don't offer hot subs, but luckily I found a Penn Station near my work that does delicious Italians.

I hate toasted subs and they made put on my own mayonnaise so I never cared for them. Subway at least would make the exact sandwich I wanted which was good enough until the quality dipped too much to be worth it. I should try firehouse one of these days but there is never one close by. Jersey Mike's isn't bad but they're limited on toppings and way too expensive.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
I've been in the States for almost a decade now and haven't seen a single Quiznos location first-hand.

What I really miss are Shakey's Pizzas.
Blasphemy. The only sandwiches that should not be served warm are ice cream sandwiches.

The city back in Virginia I spent most of my life used to have four Quiznos locations and then within the span of a week they all shut down. No warning, no notice, just closed. All of their locations in the Hampton Roads area followed suit shortly afterward.
I haven't seen a Quiznos since. I just looked them up and the nearest one to where I used to live is all the way out in Emporia, VA. The nearest one to where I live now is in Tulsa.
In honesty, we only ate at Quiznos a few times. Once a Schlotzskys Deli opened up closer by, that became our go-to place for sub-like sandwiches. And where I am now, we just got a McAlister's Deli, which is like Schlotzskys of the Midwest.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
They're still going strong on Japan

I just looked Schlotzsky's up and looks like they've also shuttered all their Virginia locations. Sad. My first time eating at one was when I was working at Gateway and there was a Schlotzsky's just down the street in the commercial/mall district. It quickly became a regular lunch spot. Then they opened one a mile from where we lived.
They supposedly have 21 locations here in Oklahoma with 4 in Tulsa. Might have to seek one out in a couple weeks when we're up there for my wife's hematologist appointment.
