After all was said and done, if we ran it ourselves and made the same as the previous owner, we would have made only a couple thousand a month profit. If we hired a manager, we would break even at best.

Make sure you look at all of the costs before you sign up...
I passed on Quiznos for the same reasons. It seems like you would need to own a chain of these stores to make a decent living and not a single sub shop.
