Quiznos Lobster Offerings Rise Above a Sea of Fish Sticks and Fillets

DENVER, Feb. 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- It's the time of year when millions of consumers abstain from meat on Fridays and come swimming back to seafood, just in time for the Lenten season. And in the ever-growing search for meatless alternatives, a sea of fried or battered fish is the norm.

From 2011 to 2014, the number of consumers eating fish on Fridays during the season of seafood increased by 20 percent[1]. In a sea of fish sticks and fillets, Quiznos stands out with its limited-time fresh and premium lobster offerings, catering to guests searching for a high-quality, meatless meal.  

Quiznos popular Lobster & Seafood Salad and Sub and Lobster Mac & Cheese are back. This year, Quiznos is introducing the brand-new Lobster & Seafood Salad Ciabatta which features the tasty lobster salad guests crave, served on Quiznos newest artisan bread option – toasted Ciabatta.

"We know our guests look forward to Quiznos lobster promotions at this time of year and we try to surprise and delight each year with a new offering" said Susan Lintonsmith, Chief Marketing Officer. "Last year, we launched our new pasta platform and featured our Lobster Mac & Cheese during the Lenten seafood season. This year, we're excited to offer our new Lobster Ciabatta sandwich. We continue to listen to our guests and push for delicious innovation in our product offerings."
