Today, Inspire Brands announced two international franchise agreements that will introduce Jimmy John’s, the largest owned-delivery sandwich brand in the United States, to Canada and Latin America, marking the commencement of the brand’s global expansion strategy.

Jimmy John’s emphasis on quality ingredients, convenience, and digital innovation, combined with operational simplicity, uniquely positions the brand for global appeal. Its worldwide expansion will provide an opportunity for international customers to savor its iconic menu, including the option to order hot, toasted sandwiches as a customization choice.

Michael Haley, President & Managing Director, International for Inspire Brands, stated, “For 40 years, Jimmy John’s has taken a straightforward approach to making ridiculously good, quality sandwiches and it’s now time to share them with the world. In a global restaurant environment where simplicity is paramount, we’re confident this brand is primed for extensive international growth.”

Jimmy John’s has forged agreements with two reputable operators, both with substantial quick-service restaurant experience and extensive presence throughout Canada and Latin America.

1. Foodtastic – A prominent franchisor of restaurant brands in Canada, boasting more than 1,100 restaurants and $1.1 billion in sales.
2. Franquicias Internacionales – Based in El Salvador, this operator has a robust portfolio spanning various complementary businesses in food and beverage, digital media, and logistics.

Jimmy John’s commitment to culinary excellence and operational efficiency, which has fueled its success in the U.S., will serve as the cornerstone for the brand’s international expansion.

Quality Obsessed:

• Bread baked fresh in the restaurant throughout the day.
• Premium meats and cheeses, along with fresh vegetables hand-sliced daily in restaurants.

Convenience Obsessed:

• Rapid accessibility through drive-thru, pick-up, and delivery.

Technology Obsessed:
