The chain has already announced agreements in the UAE and Saudi Arabia. In addition, Quiznos has recently completed deals in Eastern Europe and the Dominican Republic.
Over the last few weeks Quiznos also has completed two important deals. The first is a ten year agreement to develop 100 restaurants in India. Separately, another major agreement in India is currently under negotiation. The second agreement is to develop at least 175 restaurants in Brazil over the next ten years.
