The new Tucson restaurant boasts a new updated interior design with graphics specific to the local area and a modernized layout optimized for kitchen and customer flow. With new restaurant equipment, this location can offer expanded menu items such as crispy chicken tenders and French fries, further enhancing its appeal to both longtime and new customers.
Parish Patel, a quick-service restaurant industry veteran who has successfully operated several concepts, including Quiznos, over the course of his 21-year career, has returned to the brand to be part of its reinvigoration and is well-positioned to help lead the way in re-establishing Arizona as a central hub for Quiznos. Patel’s plan is likely to result in Arizona having the most Quiznos locations of any state in the U.S.
“Two decades after opening my first Quiznos location, I am truly inspired to again recommit to this great brand and play a key role in its ongoing reinvigoration and resurgence, with Arizona leading the charge in building back our footprint,” said Patel. “Having created QSR concepts from scratch and been involved with other established brands, I have a clear understanding of what works and what doesn’t and what’s critical for success.”
Nationally known and locally owned, the brand has realigned its corporate operations with a focus on aiding franchisees, highlighting Quiznos’ quirky heritage while strengthening its support for local communities.
“Parish Patel’s return highlights the strong growth potential that the iconic Quiznos brand has moving forward,” said Gregory Boudreaux, Vice President of Operations & Brand Leader at Quiznos’ parent company, REGO Restaurant Group. “Parish brings a wealth of restaurant experience and fresh ideas to the table, and we’re excited to be working with him again.”
