Quiznos Brings Toasty Subs to Alpena with First-of-Its-Kind Restaurant Launch
New, modular, Qube location opened May 7, delivering high-quality offerings and a brand-new option for Northeast Michigan diners DENVER, May 08, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Quiznos, the iconic brand known for its chef-inspired toasted subs since 1981, is proud to announce the grand arrival of its first Qube concept location in Michigan, which opened in Alpena on Wednesday, May 7, 2025, at 320 Johnson St. This marks not only a debut in the Alpena market, but also Quiznos' first-ever Qube location. Developed by BCubed Manufacturing in conjunction with Quiznos' parent company, REGO Restaurant Group, the Qube model is an innovative new modular restaurant footprint designed to enable faster, more efficient construction, streamlined operations, and an enhanced guest experience focused on drive-thru, digital, and walk-up customers. "The launch of the Qube marks a pivotal moment in Quiznos' growth strategy, and we're thrilled that Alpena, Michigan, is where this new chapter begins," said Neel Patel, CEO of REGO Restaurant Group. "This innovative new footprint is engineered to quickly unlock attractive new opportunities for current and future franchisees. We're excited to share our beloved toasted subs with the Alpena Qmmunity and showcase how the Qube redefines convenience, making our delicious, high-quality food more accessible than ever." With approximately 650-sq ft layouts designed for flexibility and efficiency, restaurants opened using the "Qube" concept include both drive-thru and walk-up windows optimized for both delivery and pick-up. The Qube is designed to offer maximum flexibility, enabling operators to develop on parcels of land too small for traditional restaurants. Qube restaurants contribute to a lower cost structure that supports labor and operating cost efficiencies, and includes features that will allow for testing of self-serving lockers and kiosk ordering in the near future. The modular restaurants are readily manufactured off-site and then shipped fully equipped, pre-wired, pre-plumbed and inspected to any site, dramatically reducing the development timeline. Quiznos' Alpena location has a menu with many of the traditional Quiznos favorites, like the Chicken Carbonara and Classic Italian subs, as well as a few location-specific offerings such as Philly Fries or Tots, which are topped with Black Angus Steak, sauteed peppers & onions, queso blanco and banana peppers, the crispy chicken tenders meal and sub, and the Belgian waffle for dessert. The opening is being led by Jeff Konczak, owner of BCubed Manufacturing and a respected local developer and owner of several prominent Alpena revitalization projects. Konczak is new to the Quiznos brand, bringing valuable franchise experience as the operator of four nearby Biggby Coffee locations, one of which is also part of the multi-unit development, and is an integral member of the Alpena community. "A brand like Quiznos, with its strong potential for continued growth, is the ideal partner for the introduction of the BCubed structure," said Konczak. "This partnership will drive expansion for both brands. Alpena is also growing and developing, making it the perfect place to launch this exciting collaboration." The Alpena location is the sixth Quiznos in the state, but the first in Northeast Michigan, with the nearest location more than three hours away. Konczak said the Qube concept aligns perfectly with Alpena's downtown development vision. The grand opening was held on May 7. Alpena residents can expect a fresh new dining option that brings together convenience, innovation, and the bold, high-quality food flavors that Quiznos is known for. For those interested in owning an iconic sub franchise, as well as additional information on the "Qube" concept, visit About Quiznos Quiznos has been serving up simply sublime subs, salads, and sides with a focus on quality and super chill vibes for over 40 years. Celebrated as the pioneer of the toasted sub, Quiznos continues to innovate with a menu that features premium meats, cheeses, chef-inspired sauces, and creative culinary combinations.

Trump Media wants the SEC to investigate a hedge fund that has a $105 million short on the company
Trump Media is urging the SEC to investigate a hedge fund's short position in its stock. Earlier this week, Qube Research disclosed a $105 million short position on the stock. The firm says the SEC should look into "potential manipulation." Trump Media & Technology Group, the parent company of Truth Social, wants the Securities and Exchange Commission to investigate a hedge fund that's shorting its stock, claiming "potential manipulation." Qube Research & Technologies disclosed a net short position in Trump Media earlier this week, with the total value of the position at about $105 million. The UK-based hedge fund's disclosure was made to comply with Germany's short-selling regulations. In an email statement to Business Insider, Qube said its short position in Trump Media was based on its quantitative model and not on the company's fundamentals. Trump Media asked the SEC to investigate the trading activity of its stock and singled out Qube. In a memo released on Thursday, Trump Media asked Mark Uyeda, the acting chair of the SEC, to "immediately investigate this suspicious trading and report your findings back" to the company. Trump Media, which counts President Donald Trump's trust as a majority owner, is taking issue with the potential for naked short-selling of its stock. That occurs when a company's stock is sold short by an investor who hasn't borrowed the stock in the first place. The practice is illegal, and companies sometimes use claims that it's happening as a scapegoat for a falling stock price. Shares of Trump Media have plunged 39% year to date and are down 62% from their late-October peak. This embedded content is not available in your region. Trump Media said that the total number of shares sold short from March 31 through Wednesday remained virtually unchanged at about 11 million. It said it believed the short-selling data didn't line up with the position initiated by Qube. "The above factors, especially when combined with the history of suspicious trading surrounding DJT stock-including DJT appearing on Nasdaq's Regulation SHO Threshold Security List continuously for more than two months in 2024-could be indications of the illegal naked short selling of DJT shares," the firm said in the memo. This isn't the first time Trump Media has called for investigations into the trading activity of its stock. In June, the company asked the Nasdaq and Congress to look at "anomalies" related to the trading of its shares. Read the original article on Business Insider
