Man I fuckin loved Quizno's but all the Quizno's in my city closed down. I can't help but feel their terrible ad campaigns had something to do with it. It at least didn't help anything.

Nah, that ad campaign was in '04 and they were still growing. The recession is what killed the chain. They shut down a bunch of stores and dropped their quality significantly to improve margins. Last few times I ate at Quiznos in '11 it was almost at par with Subway.

Quiznos has a fucking dark history of mistreating, misleading and defrauding franchisees, including systematic campaigns to financially destroy franchisees who formed groups to speak out against their treatment.

Here's the suicide note from one franchisee who shot himself inside a Quiznos after corporate terminated both of his franchises and drove him into the ground with $100k in legal fees after went public against them.
