Quiznos Announces Preliminary Approval of Class Action Settlement

Settlement Allows Quiznos to Focus on Franchise Owner Profitability, Customer
Satisfaction
DENVER--(Business Wire)--
Quiznos, one of the nation`s premier quick service restaurant chains and pioneer
of the toasted sandwich, today announced that United States District Judge
Rebecca Pallmeyer preliminarily approved the settlement of class action lawsuits
pending since 2006.

Judge Pallmeyer`s ruling did not include any finding of fault by any party.

Quiznos is pleased with the terms of the settlement. "This settlement is very
good news for Quiznos. Litigation is a time-consuming process that shifts
valuable time and resources away from our most important focus - great-tasting
food, franchise owner profitability and customer satisfaction," said Quiznos
spokesperson Ellen Kramer.

Through its dedicated leadership, Quiznos continues to create opportunities for
greater franchise owner profitability. Quiznos has initiated several solutions
to help Quiznos secure a strong position in the current economic climate and the
competitive restaurant industry, including Quiznos` Lease Renegotiation Program,
Microloan Initiative, Flex Plan for product innovation and The New Quiznos
customer experience remodel.

Quiznos also continues to build on a legacy of chef-inspired product innovation
for greater customer satisfaction and further franchise owner profitability.
