I loved the taste and smell of Chicago hot dogs.
My college options were nil.
I think I'm in the service business. I mean, our sandwiches are pretty good; I don't know if they're extraordinary. But our service is.
I've never offered coupons or deals. I'm not fancy enough to do soup or salads, hot breakfasts, or smoothies.
Jimmy John's is what it is. We strive for a consistent experience that is consistently good.
We're not going to be the fastest-growing or the biggest. I think there's plenty of room for a little old sandwich shop like ours.
I'm a good operator: good with food and good with math.
I think my service is better than my food... I focus so much on the service.
As soon as I go to Wall Street, my customer - all of a sudden, I'm working for people that don't know me. They don't know how much I love what I do.
I'm so genuine about what I do and how I want to do it, and I get anxiety when I'm pressured from the outside.
I could sell more franchises than I'm selling right now, but we're pretty deliberate about where we're going.
I was at this fancy school, and I felt out of place, so I rebelled.
You can't forget where you came from.
My dad was the guy who wanted to teach a man to fish. He was very, very curious, right up until the day he died. He was insatiable for information. He was the pursuit of awesome.
My team and I are excited to bring to our new partners at Roark the same energy and commitment to excellence that helped make our partnership with Weston Presidio so successful.
NASCAR is Freaky Fast, just like Jimmy John's.
We will continue to pursue anybody who violates our franchise covenants, trade agreements, or anything, for that matter, that is ours.
God bless the U.S. court system.
We want a system that creates the same exact sandwich, very rapidly and very consistently, every single time.
We offer an extremely controlled, disciplined, and completely systematic franchise package.
