Company Description
Jimmy John’s is a sub sandwich chain founded by James John Liautaud in 1983. Liautaud maintained a stake in the company until 2019, when Roark Capital, by then the majority shareholder, bought him out.
Liautaud founded Jimmy John’s right out of high school, opening the first location in Charleston, Illinois.
Jimmy John’s is known for its loud advertising with quirky and memorable slogans, such as its “freaky fast” delivery service. In 2017, the company won Franchise Times’ Deal of the Year for attracting private equity firm Roark Capital as a majority investor. It’s now within the Inspire Brands portfolio.
