$7 bucks for a fast food sub, should be able to turn a profit.



Wisconsin franchisees sue Denver-based Quiznos Sub

GREEN BAY (AP) - Twenty-eight owners of Quiznos Sub shops in Wisconsin are suing the Denver company, claiming they're being defrauded.

The owners say Quiznos forces them to buy food and supplies from the company at unfair prices and sets retail prices too low for the stores to make a profit.

The federal lawsuit accuses the company of fraud, antitrust violations, breach of contract and racketeering. It seeks millions of dollars in damages.

A spokeswoman for Quiznos didn't immediately return a telephone message today.

The attorney for the Wisconsin shops - Justin Klein - says a similar lawsuit was filed in New Jersey earlier this year by some Quiznos franchisees there.

He says the allegations against Quiznos involve restaurants in many states, but Wisconsin was chosen for one of the first lawsuits because it has good laws that protect franchisees.
