Quiznos
The first ever Quiznos location opened in Denver, Colorado in 1981. It did not take long before the sub joint opened numerous stores across the United States and then the rest of the world. Sadly, the locations have been vanishing as quickly as they opened. In January 2019, there were fewer than 400 joints in the United States. In 2007, there had been 5,000 locations! The chain suffered during the Great Recession and applied for bankruptcy protection in 2014. Quiznos fans must be keeping their fingers crossed that the new owner can do some magic and give the company the spark it used to have.

Baja Fresh
Before Moe’s, Chipotle, and Qdoba, people used to go to Baja Fresh Mexican Grill when they wanted to get a burrito. Launched in 1990, the chain rose in popularity thanks to the fresh ingredients and the “Salsa Baja” you found at the salsa bars. Baja Fresh was bought out by Wendy’s in 2002, and this development marked the start of its downward spiral. Wendy’s ended up selling its burrito business acquisition after only four years. Baja Fresh used to have 300 locations, although it has since been shrinking and disappearing in some areas. In 2017, the company reported only 165 Baja Fresh locations.
