Quiznos?

Quiznos is pretty much the worst fast food available since it has the highest salt content.
It makes McDonalds and Burger King look like health food restaurants.
Some of their sandwiches have 3,000 mg of sodium and a few have over 4,000 mg.

Many are closing up shop, maybe because Subway was first and grabbed up all the good locations. Subway and Quizno also had a price war where Subway started to heat up their subs and then there was the $5 for a 12 in. sub deal. Montreal is not only a good place for bargain price hotty SPs, it is also the food deal capitol of Canada, if not North America. Subway ran the $5 for 12 in. subs for 18 months there and killed off all the Quizno shops.
I put Quizos on par with Subway, both are better than Mr. Submarine.
Since you have coupons, go for it.

A Big Mac is a Big Mac in L.A., Toronto, Montreal, or Tampa. McDs chooses to make things consistent world wide. Other franchises like Quiznos chooses to allow small differences in their subs.
I was out with a Brit girl I know and she got all excited when she spotted a chocolate bar at convenience stand in a mall, she had to have one right away. When she tasted the chocolate bar she told me it was not the same as the ones in the UK, even though it went by the same name and was made by Cadbury. So not all products are the same even if it goes by the same name.
Subway is the worst. Too much bread and when it toasts it gets all dry. Quiznos has both Subway and Mr Sub on taste and selection but they are pricey. I like the Broccoli Cheese soup there but I know its loaded with salt which is why it is a once per month treat.
Here's my take... When Quiznos first came out I loved their subs but they were expensive. I found them better quality (but as noted above, much less healthy) than Mr Sub or Subway but you'd be paying close to $10 a sub at the time and that was prohibitively expensive to me and my friends at the time so we'd rarely go there. Over time we went less and less so I can't comment on quality or pricing now (although I think the pricing has come down due to the need to compete). I've also heard there have been lots of issues between franchisees and the corporate office.
I was on a Subway kick for a few years but lately I've been liking Mr Sub more and more. They're basically on par though. I haven't been to a Quiznos in years and I think it's just a matter of time until they fold.

You need to find a nearby place that makes Vietnamese subs. If you're not too adventurous, just start with the pulled pork. You will lose all respect for our bland submarine sandwiches after you've had a Vietnamese sub with its crunchy bread.
It seems like the Quizno's subs are smaller than Subway and Mr. Sub. As others mentioned, when they first opened they had high quality subs at a high price, when their price went down, so did the quality of their subs. There aren't many Quizno's locations anymore either, I don't think it will last that much longer in Canada.
I was told on a Hershey tour once that chocolate tastes are tailored for the country sold. Hershey sells sweeter chocolate in Canada than in the US, for example.
Found this in a NY Times article:
“I imagine it’s down to the final processing and the blending,” he said. After consulting with chocolate manufacturers in each country, Cadbury tries to replicate the taste people grew up with, he said. In the United States, that means a bar that is more akin to a Hershey bar, which to many British palates tastes sour.
Kirk Seville, a spokesman for the Hershey Company, declined to explain the manufacturing process, saying the company preferred not to take part in a discussion about the manufacturing differences between a British and an American Cadbury bar.
For people here with a taste for British candy, no explanation is necessary. Their opinions are already formed.
“Hershey’s tastes like ear wax,” said Kevin Ellis, an Alaskan-born designer with Adobe Systems in San Francisco. Mr. Ellis, who says Canadian and British chocolate bars are comparable, anticipates with delight the boxes of imported chocolate bars his wife's family sends.
