Quizno’s Class Action Lawsuit

With some of the comments about Young Chefs Academy on this site, a look at other franchisee problems needed at least a look.  Here is one suit that happened about a year and half ago to a major franchiser. http://www.denverpost.com/business/ci_4702650

A group of Quiznos franchisees have filed a class-action lawsuit against the Denver sandwich chain in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin.  The lawsuit alleges that Denver-based Quiznos has “systematically defrauded its franchisees in a scheme designed to build the brand at the expense of its operators in the field.”  The suit contends that the company forces franchisees to buy food and supplies from Quiznos or its affiliates at inflated prices while setting retail prices so low that franchisees can’t profit. The lawsuit also alleges that Quiznos omits or misrepresents key facts about its business operations when selling franchises.

Question?…

We can’t find an update to what has occurred since then. Any help?

Amazed at Pizza Franchises

Posted by admin on October 30, 2007 under Mark's Pizzeria | Read the First Comment

It absolutely amazes me that a pizza franchise can startup and compete with the likes of Pizza Hut, Dominos, Little Caesars and so on, but seemingly Mark’s Pizzeria is having no problem.  Just look at the number of locations they’ve started: http://www.markspizzeria.com/locations.htm.

I would be very interested in hearing from a few franchisees regarding their experience and opinion of this franchisor.  If you could help others understand how a pizza franchise is successful in the face of such daunting competition it would really help to promote your brand name.
