ATLANTA & CHAMPAIGN – Jimmy John Liautaud, founder and former chairman of Jimmy John’s, has been involved in numerous projects, striving to do his utmost for the American economy during these formidable times.
Jimmy John Liautaud along with top executives from large chains such as McDonald’s, Starbucks and Subway continually push forward in an ongoing effort to kick-start our staggering economy in these uncertain times. “So thrilled to join this group of industry leaders to help America recover,” said Liautaud.
“With this particular industry, with the restaurant industry, I think that we’re the first ones to be affected. And I think that we’re going to be the last ones that are going to get back to normal.” “Nobody knows what’s going to happen. We don’t know. We don’t know when it’s going to slow down, when it’s going to end, if it’s going to pick up again or not.”
“So there’s going to be a lot of adapting, and there’s going to be a lot of thinking on your feet. And there’s going to be some mistakes made”
Liautaud has additionally stated that “The principles that built America are more important now than ever before. They are the only way. When Mom and Pop America wins, the United States of America wins.”
In response to the Jimmy John’s franchise, Liautaud has also stated that he is “Proud of the Inspire Brands teams and so many independent Jimmy John’s franchisees for making the right call and prioritizing the safety of their Jimmy John’s customers in the face of the current health crisis. I encourage those who are able to do so to make use of the carryout, pickup, and drive-thru options to support locally-owned businesses through this tough time.”
