SSA Claims Both Top Spots for Quiznos

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (November 2, 2010)—Systems Services of America (SSA) has won the two top awards from Quiznos as the chain’s Distribution Centers of the Year.

Each year, 15 distribution centers representing various vendors servicing more than 3,200 Quiznos locations vie for the honor of being the two best locations as judged by a rating system covering regularly tracked performance areas like on-time deliveries, product reliability, accurate invoices and customer service.

SSA’s Phoenix, Ariz., and Los Alamitos, Calif., divisions claimed the top prizes for their performance.

“These awards signal a major validation in our operations and customer initiatives,” said SSA President Tim Holland. “To have both of the top spots taken by SSA Distribution Centers says volumes about our people and our processes.”

The awards to Phoenix and Los Alamitos add to the honors captured by the company’s Milpitas. Calif., division, a two-time recipient winning in 2007 and 2008.

Quiznos, based in Denver, is the second largest quick service submarine sandwich restaurant in the nation.
