Yes, as for Quizno's........,
Yes, as for Quizno's........, you better do some more checking. They are declining very very fast. Loosing stores every day. Worst leadership of any company in America, if not the world.
Agreed
I would think Quiznos will implode in the next 2 - 3 years. If they aren't the worst run company in America, they certainly are in the top 3.
EXACTLY
They closed approx. 150 stores just in Los Angeles.
yeah...right...
As for Quiznos...thank God you guys don't have the REAL numbers...I would suggest you stop relying on Techomic and do your own homework - way too many asterisks up there...
