WHY JIMMY JOHN'S?
No soups, no hot sandwiches, no salads. Just sandwiches. Our track record is best in class. Our system works. We’ve been doing this for almost 35 years. We’re one of the fastest growing restaurant chains in America. Most importantly, people love our food! 2,700 units across 43 states and lots of room to grow.
*Figures reflect averages for thirty-one (33) affiliate-owned restaurants that opened before January 1, 2014, as published in Item 19 of our April 2019 Franchise Disclosure Document. These averages are based on a 52-week annual period from January 3, 2018 through January 1, 2019. Of these thirty-one (33) restaurants, 16 (48%) had higher gross sales, 18 (52%) had higher food and paper costs, and 17 (52%) had higher net profit percentage during the reported period. The financial performance representation contained in Item 19 of our April 2019 Franchise Disclosure Document also includes (1) average and median system–wide gross sales, average and median franchise gross sales, the number and percentage of restaurants exceeding the averages, and the highest and lowest grossing Restaurants in the system during the referenced period, (2) average and median gross sales, average and median food and paper cost, and average and median net profit percentage information during the referenced period for nine (8) affiliate-owned restaurants that were opened after January 1, 2014 and before January 3, 2018, and (3) other average and median performance information for affiliate-owned restaurants. A new franchisee’s results may differ from the represented performance. There is no assurance that you will do as well and you must accept that risk. This offering is made by prospectus only.
Our all-natural meats* and vegetables are hand sliced in-house every day. Our fresh baked bread is baked all day, every day. Fresh food from scratch. Has been since 1983.

OUR ROOTS
CATERING
Jimmy John’s started back in 1983 when 19-year-old Jimmy John Liautaud opened his first sandwich shop in Charleston, Illinois. His dad was his partner, so he split the profit with him and, after two years, he bought out his dad and the business was all his. Ten years later, Jimmy had 10 stores, and in 1994, he began selling franchises to other entrepreneurs. With over 2,700 stores in 43 states and 98% of them franchise owned, we are just rounding first base!

REQUIREMENTS
Genuine individuals who like our food, are willing to do whatever it takes to make great sandwiches for our customers and have ambitions for multi-unit development. This is a lifestyle, and it's a tough one. We're looking for those who want to go above and beyond!
