"In 1978, Terrell Braly, along with a group of investors, converted a closed Sinclair gas station at 1275 Grant Street, Denver, Colorado into a sandwich shop called "Sandwich World". Hussain "Jeff" Jaffarie, the store manager at the time, began the practice of toasting sandwiches in a pizza oven that had been provided by Tombstone Pizza.
In 1979, a competing restaurant opened across the street from the converted fuel station. Trading as Footers Restaurant and owned by Jimmy Lambatos and Todd Disner, this business offered to buy the larger and better located Sandwich World operation. The take-over was accepted in early 1980. The new owners of Sandwich World changed the name to Quiznos and began a franchising operation." (from (

I am not much of a sandwich eater, so I had no idea that Quiznos began in Denver. Big duh!
