I think it’s mostly the sign of lousy food. Subway is doing fine. Tim Horton is opening up new restaurants all over the place where I live. Sbarro serves tasteless glop and Quiznos is terrible, IMO.
Helping the middelclass, you all fell for it didnt you. If we dont turn this ship around in 2014 and hold all thier a##es to the fire, it is over johnny, it is over! The minority in this country believes they are the majority and most of the majority believes this to be true! amazing. A hard conservative right and a good house cleaning in all agencies is in order. The cancer cannot be treated with aspirin
Or the sign of a poor business plan. Sbarro tied it’s future to mall food courts. Malls are failing. Quiznos was deep in debt, probably due to the fact that they paid heavily to expand and support their franchises. The company has been shrinking for years. In 2007 there were 5000 Quiznos shops world wide. Currently there are about 2000.
raising the minimum wage and forcing over time rules will save the day!
As the margins for food service are usually the tightest, they will usually be the first to fail with a lagging economy. The reality is that restaurants are the highest percentage of failed businesses, hands down so it is just what I expected when the gas started to run out of the system that Obama is intentionally imploding.
Quizno’s IMHO has lousy food. Just like Sbarro. If you serve bad food, even if there was a pro-business person in the White House and the economy was growing at 200% a year, if you have lousy food, no one will eat it. In downtown Tampa, Quizno closed, but other restaurant are busy.
Sbarro, $8.00 for a slice of pizza and a soda at the mall. First and last time for me.
America is dying, and facing the collapse of our dollar, our stock market, our economy, our military, and the basic decency of our society.
I know! Let’s raise the minimum wage! Yeah, that’s the ticket.
First and last time I was in a Quiznos.
Every time a nationally recognized restaurant chain goes out of business, $1.74 is added to the economy.
I used to walk by a Quiznos every day for break. I think I only ate there once.
They had the most disgusting mascot and terrible ads when I used to watch hours of TV a week. I’m not sure that Obama is solely to blame for this ‘fail’.
Subway is out for me (personal last straw: hooking up with Chelle-O), and I'd like to have more, not less, alternatives.
Mr. niteowl77
I went to Quiznos exactly one time.
They had a special on a brisket sandwich.
The service was slow and surly,the sandwich was sub par and even on special it cost me like $12.
shame, I liked the Quiz. Used to be so many where I’m at, now I can’t recall the last one I see.

Of course if they zero in on obamacare as the cause of the bankruptcy any surviving execs will be targeted by scores of unelected alphabet agencies like the IRS for reeducation training.
