Internet Video Shows Franchise Problems at Quiznos

THE INTERNET (Blue MauMau) - A video posted on YouTube Monday criticizes the Quiznos restaurant model, support and profits for its franchise owners. Over the opening scene of money burning, it asks, "Is That All There Is?" Posted by an anonymous blogger using the pseudonym "franchisecritic", the video log has a short blog declaring, "Enron, Tyco, they have nothing over Franchise companies when it come to destroying lives. In our first of a series of videos on this industry, we start with one of the worst, Quiznos. How bad is Quiznos? We hope this short video gives you an idea."

The four and a half minute video declares, "Franchise owners invested in the dream... but to hundreds the dream was just a nightmare of lost savings, broken homes and lawsuits."

The video highlights a string of franchisee lawsuits against the franchisor, money losses and a franchisee suicide.
