Jimmy John Prepares For IPO

I had one once, it was average.
I'm a bit of a foodie, rarely go out for things like sandwhiches. If I do, it is a $4 foot long at sheetz after work, bulk food cheaper than JJ, also on the way home. JJ costs much more.

Your shtick is getting old.

JJ's is awesome and I have looked into their financials when we were considering franchising them. Very favorable to most of the restaurant business.

This is not a fad like SHAK. They've been around for a long time and had very good success.

The Industrial Workers of the World have targeted Jimmy John.

Sick Jimmy John Workers Make Subs??? WTF??

That's a restaurant problem, not a JJ's problem. If you eat in restaurants, there are sick workers working. Virtually no restaurant companies provide sick time, so the workers that need the income will work until they're noticeably sick.

There has been a big restaurant union push in the Minneapolis area. Probably a few disgruntled current/former workers locally attacking what they know.
