DENVER — Quiznos today responded to allegations made April 19, 2007, with regard to Illinois' class action lawsuit filed by plaintiffs' bar law firm, Marks & Klein, against Quiznos.
"Through their repeated grandstanding with the press, Justin Klein and Christopher Bray have repeatedly demonstrated that they have little knowledge of the Quiznos business, or appreciation for its many successes," said Fredric A. Cohen, Member of Cheng Cohen LLC, Quiznos counsel. "Additionally, their comments are misleading, making it appear as if Justin Klein represents a large number of Quiznos Illinois franchisees. In reality, only five of the more than 200 Illinois Quiznos franchise owners are involved."
Cohen also said the claims are "false, misleading, and wholly without merit and, therefore, the company must vigorously defend itself, its brand, and its goodwill on behalf its franchise owners throughout the nation."
The lawsuit represents less than 2.5 percent of Illinois franchise owners.
