Quiznos, you might say, is the toast of the sandwich world. The Quiznos Master operates the #2 sub sandwich chain (behind Subway), with more than 4,500 franchised quick-service restaurants popular for their made-to-order, oven-toasted sandwiches. Patrons can choose from a variety of signature subs, such as the Honey Bourbon Chicken, Prime Rib & Peppercorn, and the Steakhouse Beef Dip. Quiznos also serves salads, soups, and dessert items. The company has locations in more than 20 countries. Quiznos started getting toasty in 1981 as a single Denver area restaurant. Founder Rick Schaden and his family control the company with backing from investment firms CCMP Capital and Cervantes Capital.
