Quiz Holdings, LLC, doing business as Quiznos, is an American franchised fast-food restaurant based in Denver that specializes in offering toasted submarine sandwiches. It was founded in 1981 by Jimmy Lambatos and sold to Rick and Richard Schaden ten years later. It then grew to nearly 5,000 restaurants; by 2013, Quiznos was the second-largest submarine sandwich shop chain in North America, behind Subway.[5] It filed for bankruptcy in 2014; by 2016, it had dropped to ninth place,[6] and the number of Quiznos locations in the United States fell from a 2007 high of 4,700 to just 400 a decade later.[7][8]
