Description:
I could probably give you a history and reasons to franchise with a Jimmy John's but that all can be found on the website. I will, however, be candid and honest with what our ideas and visions are with this franchise.
There are around 1000 Jimmy John's franchises nationwide and growing. It has become the 4th fastest growing franchise in the nation and is still a new concept to the west coast with snowballing sales and profits.
An average Jimmy John's weekly gross sales are around $15k a week. My friend opened up the Jimmy John's he now runs and they are grossing $26k a week with potential to do more while netting a profit of 25%.
Jimmy John's food costs and labor percentages are well below the national average.
The concept is simple while providing a high quality, fresh product at a fast production rate. There is low overhead. Nationally speaking and particularly in the fast food industry, the higher end restaurants are losing business and money to more simple and healthier options.
These are quick rough facts about Jimmy John's.
My GM friend, is already Jimmy John's certified in training and running a store. He has a degree in hospitality management from Washington State University which is top three in the nation in that field while myself I have a business degree from Brigham Young University, a nations top 50 business school with experience in running a self started business.
We are hard working individuals and very dependable with a vision to open up multiple stores in Washington and Oregon. We already have many contacts and resources ready to help us start the process in opening up a Jimmy John's once we get funded.
Like I said before, it is a very lucrative business here in the northwest.
