Illinois Class Action Lawsuit Represents Five, Less Than 2.5%, of the More Than Two Hundred Quiznos Franchise Owners Statewide
DENVER, Colo.–LAWFUEL- The Law Newswire – Quiznos, one of the nation’s fastest-growing quick service restaurant chains, today responded to allegations made Thursday, April 19, 2007, with regard to Illinois’ class action lawsuit filed by plaintiffs’ bar law firm, Marks & Klein, against Quiznos.
“Through their repeated grandstanding with the press, Justin Klein and Christopher Bray have repeatedly demonstrated that they have little knowledge of the Quiznos business, or appreciation for its many successes,” said Fredric A. Cohen, Member of Cheng Cohen LLC, Quiznos counsel. “Additionally, their comments are misleading, making it appear as if Justin Klein represents a large number of Quiznos Illinois franchisees. In reality, only five of the more than 200 Illinois Quiznos franchise owners are involved.”
He continued, “These claims are false, misleading, and wholly without merit and, therefore, the company must vigorously defend itself, its brand, and its goodwill on behalf its franchise owners throughout the nation.”
