Quiznos Continues to be Target of Franchisee Lawsuits
As discussed in earlier postings, Quiznos has had its share of franchisee legal disputes. According to these articles, one of the most recent is a newly-filed class action complaint in Wisconsin’s Milwaukee County Circuit Court alleging violations of the State’s consumer protection laws. The class action filing follows a November 5, 2007 Wisconsin federal court ruling dismissing the franchisees’ claims in that court for lack of federal jurisdiction. The mover behind the new filing appears to be the Toasted Subs Franchisee Association Inc., an independent association of Quiznos franchisees known for its penchant for suits against the Quiznos franchisor.
