Jimmy John’s has opened a new restaurant at 20701 N. Scottsdale Road in Scottsdale, the brand’s latest expansion in Arizona as it pursues franchise growth across the Phoenix area. Locally owned and operated by Brandt Bacus and Jared Bacus, the restaurant builds on Jimmy John’s development momentum in Scottsdale.

Jimmy John’s is actively targeting qualified franchise candidates to grow its presence in greater Phoenix, including cities such as Queen Creek, Goodyear, Glendale and Maricopa, among others. The opening in Scottsdale reflects the brand’s broader strategy to expand its footprint across the Southwest, where Jimmy John’s, part of the Inspire Brands family of restaurants, continues to see strong demand from guests and prospective franchisees.

“Our newest Jimmy John’s in Scottsdale is a strong step forward in Arizona, and there is plenty of room to keep growing across the region,” said John Dawson, President, U.S. Development at Inspire Brands in a statement. “Jimmy John’s has lots of territory available throughout greater Phoenix, and we want experienced franchisees who are ready to build multi-unit portfolios in the market. We look forward to welcoming them into the Inspire franchisee family.”

Founded in 1983, Jimmy John’s operates more than 2,800 restaurants across 44 states and generates $2.7 billion in systemwide sales. With thousands of additional sites available nationwide and more than 40 years of brand heritage, Jimmy John’s offers multi-unit operators a mature system and a flexible delivery model that tailors service to each market and meets guests where they are.
