A native Harlemite, Robert Stevens, who opened the first Quiznos in Harlem, recently celebrated it's 3rd anniversary.

It has long been a dream of the entrepreneur, event planner and former media sales support and revenue planner to open a business in Harlem and help the community by providing jobs, a quality product and good service. Stevens grew up in Taft Houses Projects, and Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, attended local schools including Brooklyn Technical High School, before attending Hampton University in Virginia. Tired of limited options of quality food in the community, one day while having lunch at a Quiznos in midtown he decided to start looking into opening a Quiznos in Harlem. Four years later his dream came true. He has employed upwards to 30 neighborhood people.

Stevens is a proud brother of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. (where he was initiated into the Gamma Epsilon Chapter in the Spring of 1990, while at Hampton University), and is still very active. In addition, he is also currently an active member of the New York Hampton Alumni Club and the Greater Harlem Chamber of Commerce.
