We offer franchises for the operation of Restaurants which specialize in the sale of tacos, burritos, enchiladas, salads, quesadillas, guacamole, rice, beans, other related food and beverage products, and ancillary merchandise. . The Restaurants will use the JIMBOY'S trademark and other designated trademarks, trade names, service marks and logos (“Marks”). Each Restaurant must follow a system (the "System") developed by our founders starting in 1954. The System includes valuable knowhow, trade secrets, distinctive interior designs, demarks, copyrights, proprietary products and software, confidential electronic and other communications, marketing programs and other business procedures as well as our confidential Operating Manual (the “Manual”). Each Restaurant will use Our System and operate according to our standards, specifications, operating procedures and rules (the “System Standards”). Restaurants typically range in size from 1,800 to 2,500 square feet with outside patio dining. They are typically high visibility in-line or end caps located in active and demographically dynamic markets that offer a mix of retail, residential, office, hotel, restaurants and entertainment venues. Restaurants are conveniently located on major roadways with good visibility and easy accessibility. The fast casual Restaurants have a unique atmosphere identified exclusively with the JIMBOY'S brand name and every detail of the décor has been well planned to enhance the dining experience. The vintage interior instantly conveys high energy and fun, while celebrating our rich history and signature taco. The vibrant color accents, distinctive stone, wood and metal design textures, interior décor all combine to promise an experience consistent with the quality of the food and exceptional dining experience for the customer. Each Restaurant's manager and team enthusiastically serve high-quality food items prepared by a well-trained kitchen crew. Catering services may be offered at certified locations. Each Restaurant has approximately 18 to 25 full and part time employees. Operating hours are typically 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Most Restaurants will offer beer, wine and margaritas at select locations.

Upfront Franchise Fees
Minimum: N.A Maximum: N.A
Upfront franchise fees are the one-time payments required to secure rights to operate under an established brand, typically ranging from $20,000 to $100,000+ depending on brand value.
These fees grant access to proprietary business systems, training programs, intellectual property rights, and often territorial exclusivity—essentially purchasing the blueprint for a proven business model.
While separate from ongoing royalties, investors should evaluate these fees against expected returns, comparing fee-to-earnings ratios across opportunities and assessing how effectively franchisors reinvest these funds into system improvements.

Ongoing Fees
Ongoing franchise fees, typically structured as royalties ranging from 4-8% of gross sales, represent the continuous payments franchisees make to maintain brand affiliation and support services.
These recurring fees fund the franchisor's operational assistance, marketing initiatives, technology updates, and continued brand development—creating a partnership where the franchisor's revenue grows alongside the franchisee's success. In addition to royalties, franchisees often contribute to national advertising funds (usually 1-3% of sales) and may incur technology fees, supply chain markups, or renewal fees depending on the franchise agreement.
Investors should carefully analyze these ongoing costs within their financial projections, as they directly impact profit margins and cash flow throughout the entire franchise relationship.
