Jon Smith Subs had a strong end to the year, reaching a total of over 20 locations spanning four countries. As it enters 2019, this sub brand has aggressive growth plans, with over 35 stores in various stages of development.
In December, the company celebrated a new Florida location in Port St. Lucie, and there is another opening scheduled in Palmdale, California, in just a few weeks. An international location in Hammersmith, England, recently opened, and expansion is slated to continue, with franchise opportunities available in Australia, Portugal and Panama.
Jim Butler, Brand President and leader of industry giant the United Franchise Group's (UFG)'s Food Division, said that the brand's expansion demonstrates its growing appeal among guests looking for fresh, great-tasting food with friendly service and a plethora of menu options.
The brand is also inviting organizers to hold their fundraising events at one of its location during the month of January. During that time, 20 percent of the pre-tax sales of eligible orders made during the event will go to the organization holding it.
Jon Smith Subs is recognized for its marinated sirloin steak subs and also features grill options, large deli subs, salads and various sides. Its "Plenti-Full" sub platters for up to 18 people are available for social gatherings and holiday events. Established in 1988 in Florida, it has since expanded into Florida, Ohio, California, Nevada, Texas and overseas. This franchise business brand currently has franchise opportunities open in many markets, and the total initial investment ranges from $324,000 to $632,484.
