The flagship store opened in 1981.
"I came from New York and was used to eating subs on crusty Italian bread. Then I came out here, and people were eating sub sandwiches on hot dog rolls. I figured I could make a better sandwich," says Jimmy Lambatos, who opened the original Quiznos at 1275 Grant Street in 1981.
"It's really disheartening," Lambatos says of the news, adding that he would regularly stop by for a sandwich."I've eaten there about forty times in the last fifteen or so years that I've been away from the business." When Quiznos moved in, the oven it was using wasn't able to keep up with demand, which led to one big innovation: conveyor belt ovens."We needed something that would bake the sandwich but wouldn't burn the bread," Lambatos says of how the idea came about.
"I ended up going back and helping Rich concept some new sandwiches. In 2003, they asked me to cater a party for them. I show up to the party and was passing hors d'oeuvres, and they're filming me. Three weeks later, they handed me a contract to go to Hollywood to do commercials" — one of which ended up playing during the 2003 Super Bowl for an audience of 140 million people.
