Quiznos announces partnership with Meijer

September 28, 2011

Quiznos has announced a relationship with Meijer, a Great Lakes region supercenter chain and grocery retailer based in Michigan.

The partnership calls for Quiznos restaurants to open inside Meijer locations in Michigan and is the most recent in a series of partnerships and store openings in Quiznos' non-traditional development strategy.

"Meijer brings a history of insight and creativity into the Great Lakes region and the local grocery store customer. Meijer saw an opportunity to better serve their loyal customer base by offering Quiznos as a dining option. This made Meijer the ideal choice to extend our non-traditional store offering and best meet regional needs in the Great Lakes," said Shultz Hartgrove, senior vice president of convenience and non-traditional development for Quiznos. "Quiznos and Meijer will benefit from the store becoming a one-stop shop for groceries, household goods and lunch."

The new Quiznos restaurant will be located in the Meijer store on Jackson Road in Ann Arbor, Mich., with a plan to further expansion to more Meijer supercenters.

"We are pleased to welcome Quiznos into our stores," said Jennifer Bonney, real estate property manager for Meijer. "We believe the strength of the Quiznos brand and menu will be a perfect fit to draw in additional breakfast, lunch, and dinner customers for our stores, while offering our current customers another dining option."

The Quiznos/Meijer supercenter location will feature a menu tailored for the grocery store customer and retailer, including Quiznos' signature sandwiches.
