Most people know Jimmy John Liautaud as the founder of Jimmy John’s. What many people may not realize is that his business interests appear to stretch far beyond sandwiches. I started digging into Jimmy John Liautaud’s investments and business ties, and what I found points to a much bigger web of interests, including food franchising, restaurants, coffee, real estate, farmland, wineries, and more. According to his own public biography, his family investment company has been involved in industries including airlines, hotels, cosmetics manufacturing, outdoor clothing, bars and restaurants, coffee, food franchising, and multiple types of real estate. In this special investigation, I’m breaking down the business interests and documented connections I’ve found so far, including current, former, and still-developing leads. Because as I always say, our dollars matter. And sometimes where they go is a lot bigger than the brand name on the sign. Swipe through to see what I found. #JimmyJohns #shopblue #FollowTheMoney #jimmyjohnliautaud #TheWokeGinger
