One dollar subs at Jimmy Johns Illinois locations

In and around Chicago, sandwich shop Jimmy John's is offering subs for $ 1. Home baked bread put together with super-fast delivery makes Jimmy John's popular just about anywhere it opens up. The company is celebrating recent expansions by offering low-cost "customer appreciation" sandwiches.

One dollar sub deal

At each Illinois Jimmy John's today, it is officially "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 probably 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

When he set out to start a business, Jimmy John thought he would start a hot dog stand. 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. The start-up costs for a hot dog store were too high for Jimmy John. Instead, he baked his own bread and ordered local meats. When the first Jimmy John's opened in 1983, he delivered his four sandwich opportunities to dorms as well as from his store. In just two years, Jimmy John bought out his dad's 49 percent and opened a second store. After that, Jimmy John asked Francorp to help him franchise the business. In the United States now, you will find 1,200 Jimmy John's stores.

Current operation of Jimmy John’s restaurants

Franchises account for 95 percent of Jimmy John's locations. A "franchisee" is a person that owns a restaurant and pays fees to the original business to use their business model and name. Jimmy John, then, doesn't really own the sandwich shops, but he is making money from his business concept.
