Quiznos

Subway's toasted rival

Quiznos is an American fast-food chain specializing in toasted submarine sandwiches.

Founded in 1981, it distinguished itself from competitors by toasting its subs before serving.

The chain expanded rapidly in the 2000s before contracting significantly: There used to be a Quiznos on every corner around here.
