Sandwich chain Quiznos filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection Friday, after reaching a deal to cut its debt by more than $400 million, or about two-thirds.

Quiznos said it would continue operating while it works to implement a debt-restructuring plan and make operational improvements.

"The actions we are taking are intended to enable Quiznos to reduce our debt, execute a comprehensive plan to further enhance the customer experience, elevate the profile of the brand and help increase sales and profits for our franchise owners," Stuart K. Mathis, Quiznos' chief executive, said Friday in a news release.

Court papers show that under the restructuring plan, Quiznos' senior lenders would trade more than $444 million in debt for all of the equity in the restaurant chain, subject to dilution.

The lenders, which have offered $15 million to finance the company's restructuring, also would get $200 million in new debt under the so-called prepackaged bankruptcy plan.

Court papers show about 61% of Quiznos' senior lenders have agreed to support the plan, as have 99% of its junior lenders, owed $173.8 million. Such plans allow for speedier and cheaper Chapter 11 proceedings.

I do like me some Quiznos, I have to say.

I used to get the steakhouse beef dip there all the time. I can't find any in Louisiana anymore.

Subway and Quiznos both suck.

Which Wich and Potbelly are much better. Firehouse Subs too.

This is crazy to me, Quiznos is good as shite. I think they are much better tasting than Subway and only a buck or two more expensive.

They really do have good-tasting subs, but their marketing was/is terrible.

Good God, that is an awful commercial. They deserved to go Ch. 11. That looks like something from SNL.

Used to love some Quiznos. Blows my mind that a shitty restaurant like subway is now the largest franchise in the world, but Quiznos can't make ends meet.
