A Tale of Risk and Sandwich Innovation

Jimmy John’s story is one about taking risk and believing in yourself. It went from being a humble little store to the sandwich shop giant it is today. But how exactly did everything come to be? It all started in 1983 when Jimmy John Liautaud opened the first store in Charleston, Illinois. At this point, he was fresh out of high school and loaned $20,000 from his father to start this business. He firmly believed that his sandwiches were something that people would love and he could see their potential for success. It was a massive risk at the time but boy did it pay off big time.

Jimmy John’s recipe for success is simplicity and quality. They made sure that their sandwiches were efficient, made with the best ingredients, and, most importantly, delicious. The brand first became really popular thanks to their reputation of delivering sub sandwiches freaky fast. The demand for Jimmy John’s continued to grow and by 1994, they’ve expanded to 10 stores. But today? Jimmy John’s boasts over 2,800 locations across the United States.

In recent years, the brand constantly proved that they weren’t afraid to try new things and push boundaries. They’re now a household name that continues to provide us with the best sandwiches in the industry. It goes to show that sometimes, you gotta risk it all to win it all.
