Jimmy John’s Franchise, LLC is a Delaware limited liability company. Their principal business address is 2212 Fox Drive, Champaign, Illinois 61820. They have offered franchises for JIMMY JOHN’S® Restaurants since 1993.

We grant franchises for Restaurants operating under the “JIMMY JOHN’S®” name and other Marks. (In this disclosure document, we call the Restaurants in our system “JIMMY JOHN’S® Restaurants”; we use the term “Restaurant” to describe the JIMMY JOHN’S® Restaurant you will operate.) JIMMY JOHN’S® Restaurants, which typically are located in strip shopping centers, shopping malls, and free-standing units, sell gourmet deli sandwiches, freshbaked breads, and other permitted food and beverage products (“Menu Items”) and provide carry-out, delivery, and on-premises dining services. Most Menu Items are prepared according to specific recipes and procedures and use highquality ingredients, including (1) specially formulated and specially produced JIMMY JOHN’S® proprietary lines of bread dough, meats, and other food products (collectively, “Trade Secret Food Products”) and (2) food products (other than Trade Secret Food Products) branded and/or packaged exclusively for the JIMMY JOHN’S® system and franchisees (collectively, “Branded Products”). (Branded Products also include non-food products branded and/or packaged exclusively for the JIMMY JOHN’S® system and franchisees.) Certain food and beverage products are not prepared with Trade Secret Food Products or Branded Products but still are required or authorized for sale (collectively, “Permitted Brands,” which are encompassed within Menu Items). If you acquire a franchise, you must operate your Restaurant according to our business formats, methods, procedures, designs, layouts, standards, and specifications in order to maintain the quality and consistency of the JIMMY JOHN’S® brand. We also grant multi-unit development rights to qualified franchisees, who then may develop a number of JIMMY JOHN’S® Restaurants (but no less than 4) within a defined area over a specific time period or according to a pre-determined development schedule. These franchisees may open and operate JIMMY JOHN’S® Restaurants directly or through entities they own or control. Our Development Rights Rider to the Franchise Agreement is Exhibit C. Franchisees signing our Development Rights Rider must sign our then-current form of Franchise Agreement for each additional JIMMY JOHN’S® Restaurant they develop. That form may differ from the form of Franchise Agreement included in this disclosure document. If you are renewing your franchise because its current term is about to expire, you will sign our Successor Franchise Rider to Franchise Agreement (Exhibit I), which generally modifies certain provisions in our standard Franchise Agreement that do not apply to you because your Restaurant already is open. Your Restaurant will offer products and services to the general public throughout the year and compete with other sandwich shop chains (local, regional, and national), restaurants, and food service businesses. The market for JIMMY JOHN’S® products and services generally is developed and very competitive. Despite this competition, we believe JIMMY JOHN’S® Restaurants appeal to consumers because of our system’s product and service quality.
