The Jimmy Johns $ 1 sub deal
At Jimmy Johns in Illinois today, it is “Customer Appreciation Day.” For a couple of hours on Thursday, any of the first six sandwiches on the Jimmy John's menu would be sold to you for just $ 1. These first six sandwiches are, for the most part, the first six sandwiches that Jimmy John's founder, Jimmy John, created in his mom's kitchen.
How Jimmy John's expanded
Jimmy John’s was never designed to be a sandwich shop. After graduating almost-last in his high school class, Jimmy John was given the option of starting a business with $ 25,000 or going into the Army. Jimmy John's first thought was a hot dog store, but the start-up costs were way too expensive. Instead, he ordered local meats and baked his own bread, and then began a sandwich shop. The first Jimmy John’s sandwich shop opened out of his family garage in January of 1983, and delivered to dorms. By 1985, Jimmy John was able to buy out his father’s half of the business and opened a second store. At that point, Francorp helped Jimmy John’s create a franchise system. Jimmy John's stores are now in most United States states.
Current operation of Jimmy John’s restaurants
About 95 percent of the stores are franchise-owned. A "franchisee" is a person that owns a restaurant and pays fees to the original business to use their business model and name. In short, Jimmy John doesn't own each and every Jimmy John's, but he does license the business to other individuals.
