ABOUT Jimmy John’s 

The story of Jimmy John’s begins back in 1982 with a young man finding his way in the world, but don’t take our word for it – get it directly from Jimmy John’s Founder Jimmy John Liautaud!

“My Dad was a huge believer in the discipline that the Army provides young people. He served in the Army and was stationed in Korea. Both of my brothers served in the Army as well. Military service was a big deal in our household. Naturally, my dad wanted me to enlist after high school, but I really wanted to open a business. My father made a deal with me. He’d lend me $25,000 to start a business, but if it didn’t make a profit in the first year, I’d do a stint in the Army.

After all, I have never made a business plan and I never intended for Jimmy John’s to be as big as it is today. It’s simply a byproduct of an effective system, it’s executed flawlessly and consistently by people who care. It’s about the pursuit of awesome, it’s about helping people help themselves; it’s about transparency. It’s not easy, but it’s real, it’s what we love, and it’s what we know.”
