Denver — Quick-service sandwich chain Quiznos has inked a new multi-unit development agreement with franchisee Sam Patel that will provide 10 new restaurants and exclusivity across Northern Georgia. The first location in this agreement is slated to open in early 2023.
The new restaurants will be a mix of standalone drive-thru units and non-traditional locations built inside renewed fuel stations Patel owns along Interstate 75. The agreement follows a schedule of two units built per year for the next 5 years in Adairsville, Calhoun, Dalton, Resaca, Ringgold and Chatsworth.
“Quiznos has been following a strong growth trajectory with a visible increase in demand that is aided by our franchisees’ innovation which has led to new locations in existing markets and expansion into new areas,” says Tim Casey, CEO of Quiznos. “Both traditional restaurants and non-traditional sites, such as convenience stores and the new modular Qube restaurant (pictured) we announced in late August, provide an excellent experience for guests and strong unit economic potential for franchisees.”
Originally from India, Patel moved to the U.S. 17 years ago, helping manage a convenience store opened by his father. Patel now follows in his father’s footsteps, operating 11 of his own convenience stores throughout Northern Georgia and gaining years of experience in the industry. Looking to pursue additional opportunities, he recognizes the importance of integrating innovative, well-known food service offerings into convenience stores, especially with the drive-thru component.
Founded in 1981, Denver-based Quiznos is a chain restaurant with locations across the United States and in 32 countries. For more information, visit www.quiznos.com.
