Training 

Jimmy John’s provides a comprehensive training program to ensure franchisees are fully equipped to run their restaurant effectively. Here's an overview of the training offered:

1. Initial Training and Assistance:
   • Prior to opening, the Operations Partner and on-site managers must complete an initial training program.
   • If additional or repeat training is deemed necessary by the Operations Partner, it can be arranged for an additional fee.
2. Ongoing Training:
   • The franchisor may require periodic training courses for the Operations Partner and/or previously trained managers throughout the franchise term.
   • Franchisees may also be required to attend an annual meeting for all Jimmy John's Restaurant franchisees.
3. New Manager Training:
   • Newly hired or additional on-site managers during the franchise term may need to complete the franchisor’s current initial training and apprenticeship programs.
   • The franchisee is responsible for covering all travel and living expenses incurred during training.
4. District Manager Training:
   • Franchisees or their affiliates owning three or more Jimmy John's Restaurants must appoint a District Manager.
   • The District Manager must complete all Certified Manager training, including a three-week initial training and a four-week apprenticeship program.

Territory Protection

Franchisees have the chance to develop and manage multiple Jimmy John's Restaurants within a designated area known as the "Territory," as specified in the Development Rights Agreement.

This Territory is typically defined by cities or political subdivisions and is determined by factors such as the number of restaurants the franchisee commits to developing, local demographics, and site availability.

It's important to understand that the Territory does not guarantee exclusivity. Franchisees do have delivery rights within their Territory, but they are not permitted to use other distribution channels to make sales outside their designated locations.
