Quiznos Sub

Quiznos Sub franchisees have filed three class action lawsuits alleging the company has systematically defrauded its franchisees in a scheme designed to build the brand at the expense of its operators in the field. The class actions were filed in the US District Court and claim Quiznos forces franchisees to buy food and supplies from Quiznos at inflated prices while concurrently setting artificially low retail prices for its products, making the stores unprofitable for the franchisees. They also claim that, "Quiznos unlawfully participates in a scheme to sell the franchises by omitting or otherwise misrepresenting key facts about Quiznos' business operations in an effort to induce potential franchisees to buy a franchise." The lawsuits were filed on behalf of franchise owners in Wisconsin, Michigan and Illinois.
