American sandwich restaurant chain Quiznos has boosted its presence in Canada with its newest location in Ottawa, Ontario.

Situated at 133 Bank Street, the new restaurant is co-owned by franchisees Akshay Naik and Rahul Bhagtani.

The restaurant features the brand's updated store design, first introduced in Canada in 2023.

The launch marks the second establishment under Naik's multi-unit development agreement with the restaurant chain.

Naik, a Quiznos franchisee for more than a decade with an existing location in Lloydminster, Alberta, expanded his portfolio with a new outlet in Wainwright, Alberta in December 2023.

Quiznos vice-president of operations and brand leader Greg Boudreaux said: “We’re pleased to welcome Rahul to the team as he opens this new restaurant alongside Akshay, who has been a devoted Quiznos franchisee and a wonderful person to work with for the past ten years.

“The duo’s excitement for the brand’s future is matched by our own, and we can’t wait to see what the two of them will accomplish.”

Franchisees Naik and Bhagtani said in a joint statement: “We’re delighted to open this restaurant in Ottawa and bring Quiznos to new areas, adding another location to the brand’s growing presence in Canada.

“Quiznos has an exciting future planned, and we’re honoured to play a role in its growth efforts as it continues to spearhead elevated dining experiences in communities across North America.”

Quiznos recently expanded its menu in the US and Canada with two limited-time additions, Queso Philly and Mushroom Philly.
