Quiznos is introducing the Hickory Smoked Burnt Ends sandwich to its menu today, combining the favorite seasonal flavor of BBQ with premium burnt end cuts – a classic barbecue craving in the U.S. that continues to grow in popularity internationally. 

The Hickory Smoked Burnt Ends sandwich is made with carefully selected prime rib cuts smoked with hickory wood chips that offer a tender, juicy and flavorful bite with crispy bark. The burnt ends are complemented by pickles, red onions, melted cheddar cheese, and topped with Blue Ribbon BBQ sauce. Guests can order the sandwich on their choice of bread, including Italian White, Whole Wheat, Jalapeno Cheddar, and Rosemary Parmesan.

“At Quiznos, we are always looking to create flavorful and unique items for our guests that they may not expect to find in our restaurants, and we are excited for them to try out this sandwich,” says Mike Gieseman, Vice President of Culinary Innovation. “We really wanted to create something reminiscent of long summer days spent outside enjoying time with friends and family, and we believe this new sandwich conveys that feeling.”

This latest limited time offer from Quiznos showcases the brilliant innovation seen in this year’s previous offers like the fan-favorite Lobster and Seafood sub and the Philly Cheesesteak, which sold out sooner than expected across the country. The Hickory Smoked Burnt Ends sandwich is now available in participating U.S. Quiznos locations starting at $8.50 while supplies last.

Quiznos is shaking up its fall menu with its latest innovation, the limited-time only Bison Reuben, bringing a unique twist to a popular sandwich. The Bison Reuben features tender and delicious, premium bison from High Plains Bison and is piled high with sauerkraut, swiss cheese and tangy Thousand Island dressing, all served on toasted rustic rye bread.

Bison is a tender and flavorful meat that can elevate a well-loved sandwich to new heights.”

As consumers increasingly seek differentiated dining experiences and creative flavor combinations, REGO Restaurant Group continues to transform the Quiznos brand with the introduction of a new brand identity following a strategic, data-driven insights process conducted in partnership with growth and transformation consultancy, Prophet.

The re-brand initiative, which was guest-tested and refined before being introduced to franchisees late last year, has begun to roll out, with several prototype locations planned to open in 2021. The comprehensive brand transformation focuses on consumer preferences for differentiated flavors, a desire to explore new tastes, group dining occasions, and a drive-thru experience geared towards convenience and speed. Flavor-forward items and new menu categories will be created to attract guests at various times throughout the day, not just for lunch but at happy hour and dinnertime as well.

“We want to be top-of-mind when consumers are searching to satisfy a craving or are seeking just the right experience to enliven their everyday with a moment of flavor,” said Mark Lohmann, President of REGO Restaurant Group, which owns Quiznos. “If innovation had a flavor profile, it would be a Quiznos sandwich. We’ve got some fun surprises up our sleeves in the new menu buildout that will deliver on the new strategic positioning in which we have invested.”

To begin the roll-out, existing Quiznos franchisees will pioneer a new store design prototype that other franchisees can model. Quiznos will offer a remodel package allowing restaurants to incorporate the new design and menu elements and reimagine the physical expression of the brand. Flat top grills and fryers will also be part of the new equipment package that will allow Quiznos to bring never-before-seen menu items to guests. Additionally, in mid-2021, Quiznos.com will be updated to reflect the new branding along with other digital channels including the brand’s loyalty program, Toasty Points. The new branding has already begun to show success, with early business development conversations starting to generate potential new growth.

“In addition to meeting the evolving needs of our consumers, this initiative is also an opportunity to bring best-in-class returns for our franchisees, as we reestablish our role as category leaders,” said Tim Casey, CEO of REGO Restaurant Group. “Our franchisees’ economic model is a priority, and we are making sure that this remodel delivers on that.”

REGO partnered with an Austin-based Prophet team to conduct extensive consumer insights, analyze data collected to identify a clear opportunity for Quiznos’ forward-looking strategy, and refine the Quiznos brand. The new strategy and brand identity took COVID-related learnings into consideration and were consumer-tested prior to implementation. The Quiznos logo, which was last updated in 2001, is one visual expression reimagined to further emphasize the brand’s best-in-class, premium sub sandwich offerings.

As Quiznos enters its new growth phase, the company is excited to work with franchise owners, including those wanting to open multiple locations, to bring the new brand and restaurant experience to life.
