Shelley Owens: Mejia Takes Over Quiznos Franchise In Sebastian

TCPalm:

Francisco Mejia, a Quiznos franchisee in Melbourne, purchased the Quiznos at 1927 U.S. 1 in Sebastian in April.

“I currently own another store and I am in the process of expanding,” he said. “It’s a lot easier to take over a location that has a history than to build a new location and hope it does well.”

Mejia said he has instituted a number of promotions and procedures to boost sales at his new location. “Right now, we have a promotion. Get any three small subs for $9.99,” he said. “You can get prime rib, meatloaf, any sub. We’re delivering. We also put coupons in the bags with customer orders.”

“The economy has put downward pressure on every business but, based on what we’ve done, we’re seeing positive results,” Mejia said. “It’s only been three months but, compared to last year, we’re already a little ahead.”

Quiznos corporate also has introduced new products, like the $4 Torpedo sandwich, that makes their food competitive with fast-food chains, Mejia said. More.
