    I would like to see a break down, is there one? Jimmy John’ sis usually open around the clock and does a brisk delivery business. They also have a minor advantage when it comes to brand preference when the crowd is male. Is there more info available?

      I don’t have access to a further breakdown, I wish I did. The numbers I saw were only annual sales and shown to me on the hush-hush from the common landlord. The location is blocks from a large university campus.

      Besides the subjective opinion that JJ has better sandwiches, JJ does keeps 4-5 cars delivering every night while Subway doesn’t deliver. Plus, the Subway brand seems stale, and the version of the green-yellow interior design of this Subway looks like my grandmother designed it. I think JJ’s design is not very memorable, but like 5 Guys the interior simplicity seems to work.

  2. That is very interesting indeed. Something to definitely consider if your region is rife with Subways and you’re looking to open a Jimmy John’s, huh?
