If you’re unfamiliar with Jimmy John’s it is a restaurant franchise that features gourmet deli sandwiches, fresh baked breads and ancillary other food and beverage products.

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 2,800 stores in 43 states and 98% of them franchise owned, we are just rounding first base!

To own a Jimmy John’s Restaurant, your looking at a total investment of $313,600 to $556,100, depending on the size and location and includes initial real estate lease costs and a franchise fee of $35,000. In actuality, candidates will need $200,000 in either cash, marketable securities, stocks, etc. None of the funds can be borrowed. Further, you’ll need a net worth of $1,000,000 to qualify.

You should know that Jimmy John’s has certain “other fees” that might be important to aspiring franchise owners.

Royalty Fees are 6% of the Restaurant’s weekly Gross Sales. They’re due on Wednesday of each week. Gross Sales, basically means all revenue from operating the Restaurant.

There’s also an Advertising and Development Fund that charges up to 4.5% of your Restaurant’s weekly Gross Sales and Cooperative Advertising Programs that can be as high as 2% of Gross Sales.

So, the given here is that owning a JIMMY JOHN’S Restaurant is not cheap and the ongoing fees will give you pause. So, Why Is It That JIMMY JOHN’S franchisees are so successful?
