Quiznos has signed a multi-unit development agreement with franchisee Sam Patel for 10 locations across northern Georgia.

The restaurants will be a mix of stand-alone drive-thru units and non-traditional locations built inside renewed fuel stations Patel owns along Interstate 75. The agreement follows a schedule of two units built per year for the next five years in Adairsville, Calhoun, Dalton, Resaca, Ringgold and Chatsworth, according to a press release.

"Quiznos has been following a strong growth trajectory with a visible increase in demand that is aided by our franchisees' innovation which has led to new locations in existing markets and expansion into new areas," Tim Casey, CEO of Quiznos, said in the release. "Both traditional restaurants and non-traditional sites, such as convenience stores and the new modular Qube restaurant we announced in late August, provide an excellent experience for guests and strong unit economic potential for franchisees."

Originally from India, Patel moved to the U.S. 17 years ago, helping manage a convenience store opened by his father. Patel followed in his father's footsteps, operating 11 of his own convenience stores throughout northern Georgia.

"Quiznos is a great brand to work with as it continues to stand out by offering a favorable economic model with strong potential upside, and a product that can't be beat," Patel said in the release. "Quiznos is the best option for our market because of the brand awareness, high quality food and focus on service. I am thrilled to bring it back to the region and continue to grow across the territory."

The first location is slated to open in early 2023.
