To Holders of The Quizno's Corporation's Preferred Stock:

On November  13, 2000,  The Quizno's  Corporation  (the  "Company")  commenced a
tender  offer to  purchase  all of the  outstanding  shares of its common  stock
("Common  Stock") at a purchase price of $8.00 per share,  net to seller in cash
(the  "Offer").  The Offer is  conditioned  on, among other things,  there being
validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the expiration date of the Offer not
less than 51% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock, on a fully diluted
basis, other than shares beneficially owned by Richard E. Schaden,  the Chairman
of the Board of Directors, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company,
Richard F. Schaden, Vice President,  Secretary and a Director of the Company and
Frederick H. Schaden, a Director of the Company.  The Offer expires at midnight,
New York City time,  on December 11, 2000,  unless  extended by the Company (the
"Expiration Date").  Additional  information about the Offer is contained in the
Offer to Purchase and related  documentation,  copies of which are enclosed with
this letter (the "Offer Materials").

As a holder of the Company's preferred stock ("Preferred  Stock"), you may elect
to  participate in the Offer by converting  your shares of Preferred  stock into
shares of Common  Stock and then  validly  tendering  the shares of Common Stock
prior to the Expiration Date. In the event you wish to tender your shares in the
Offer but do not wish to convert your shares of Preferred  Stock until after the
Company  has decided to accept the shares  tendered in the Offer,  you may do so
by:

o    delivering a Notice of Guaranteed  Delivery,  properly completed by you and
     an  eligible  bank  or  broker,  to the  depositary  for the  Offer  on the
     Expiration Date;

o    converting  your Preferred  Stock into shares of Common Stock following the
     acceptance of the Offer; and

o    delivering  the Common Stock to the account of the depositary for the Offer
     within three trading days of the Expiration  Date.

Tucker  Anthony  Capital  Markets,  the Dealer  Manager  for the Offer  ("Tucker
Anthony")  has  agreed  to  facilitate  the  process  outlined  in the  previous
paragraph on your behalf.  In order to take  advantage of this, you will need to

materials:

o    Preferred  Stock  share  certificates  representing  the shares you wish to
     convert into Common Stock and then tender (the "Share Certificates").

     the Offer Materials).

o    Properly  completed  Notice of  Guaranteed  Delivery  (the yellow  document
     contained in the Offer Materials).
