QUIZNO'S(R)Signs New Distributor
DENVER, Colo. - November 21, 2000 - The Quizno's Corporation (Nasdaq: QUIZ)
today announced an agreement with a new national distribution company to become
the exclusive distributor of food and paper products to the U.S.-based Quizno's
restaurant chain beginning Mon., Jan. 22, 2001. The new company replaces Alliant
Foodservice, which will continue to service Quizno's restaurants in the interim.
"Alliant has been a good partner to Quizno's, but our chain has reached a point
where it now makes sense to have more specialized distribution of its
high-quality proprietary products," said Bob Viviano, Senior Vice President of
Quizno's.
The new distributor was selected after a lengthy evaluation of several national
food distributors, and was chosen because it is geared to provide specialized,
custom-item distribution, which complements Quizno's limited menu, national
foodservice concept.
Quizno's said the new distribution partner will be identified in a subsequent
joint release after the Quizno's franchise system has been notified of the change.
Quizno's franchises and owns and operates Quizno's Subs restaurants across the
United States and in five foreign countries.
Certain information in this release are forward-looking statements that involve
risks and uncertainties that might adversely affect the Company's operating
results in the future in a material way. Such risks and uncertainties include,
without limitation, the effect of national and regional economic and market
conditions in the U.S. and the other countries in which we franchise Restaurants,
costs of labor and employee benefits, costs of marketing, the success or failure
of marketing efforts, costs of food and non-food items used in the operation of
the Restaurants, intensity of competition for locations and Franchisees, as well
as customers, perception of food safety, spending patterns and demographic
trends, legal claims and litigation, the availability of financing for the
Company and its Franchisees at reasonable rates, the availability and cost of
land and construction, legislation and governmental regulations, and accounting
policies and practices. Many of these risks are beyond the control of the
Company. Such risks are detailed from time to time in the Company's reports filed
with the SEC, including the Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended September
30, 1999.
