Having been highly involved in the opening of 3 stores prior to my first store in Milwaukee, there were not many surprises. I got to see first hand what Jimmy John’s was like and that convinced me to go it alone and it was a great idea. It’s the simplicity and quality that sold me. We have a contract to open more stores which will give us a total of 9 over the next three years.

I left a corporate consulting career to open Jimmy John’s sandwich shops 2-1/2 years ago and I haven’t looked back. I believe in the Jimmy John’s systems and procedures. If you teach your employees to do the same, your store will run smoothly and customers will keep coming back for more! We will be opening our 6th store in the Chicago market in the next 18 months and plan to continue growing this brand.
– Alison Vertel Schaffer, Chicago, IL

We do one thing and we do it extremely well. No soup, no salad, no toast, no rye, no pumpernickel equals simplicity. Speed and accuracy, along with a killer product, is what Jimmy John’s is all about. I had no idea the customer excitement and loyalty would be so high. No matter where I go, people come up to me and tell me how much they love Jimmy John’s. I plan on operating five locations within the next two years.
–Josh Albert, Plymouth, MN

The product is great, the procedures are simple to follow, and the company has developed a niche that the competitors cannot, or refuse to touch (delivery). The systems and procedures and the daily execution by each store has enabled the brand to grow when others seem to falter.  I like the fact that the company provides support to the franchisees on a regular basis. I plan to open my second store very soon.
–Dick Johnston, Oswego, IL

Here’s what makes my Jimmy John’s rock – great bread, fast execution, very clean and a great atmosphere. I’m ready to open my third unit and I plan to have 3 more. We have easy access to franchise support, and it’s fun to operate.
– Fawzi Tomey, Novi, MI

The quality of the bread, meats and veggies are outstanding and the way the sandwich is prepared makes it hard to beat!! I like everything about the brand – the colors, signage, support and attention to detail are just a few of the attributes. I cannot believe how many people in Omaha already knew about Jimmy John’s before we opened. We are very excited about the future growth, I plan to open 10 stores.
– Dean Hodges, Omaha, NE
