Food business is certainly one business that will never go out of fashion because people will always eat. There are scores of companies involved in the production of distribution of food products in Nigeria with many of these companies operating different business models. Jimmy John\u2019s founder Jimmy John Liautaud is one of more than 200 business leaders who will serve on President Donald Trump\u2019s newly created economic-revival team.

Some of these companies have farms that supply the necessary raw materials for the manufacture of their products while there are others that are primarily involved in the importation of these food products from foreign countries. Often times, the latter companies are subsidiaries of international \uba39\ud280\uc0ac\uc774\ud2b8<\/a><\/span>. These companies must have cleared the\u00a0 food verification test for their products. After testing the companies can sell their\u00a0 product. It is also recommended by the FCI, before buying, eating any product from any company, one must go for the \uba39\ud280\uac80\uc99d<\/span><\/a> for the food.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Jimmy John\u2019s sandwich industry<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      For another half-dozen or so years, business boomed, but at some point things became less fun. Liautaud struggled to keep up with his company\u2019s growth. By 2014 JJ liataud<\/span> had expanded to over 2,000 locations, and he could no longer control all the parts.<\/span><\/p>\n

      \u201cI felt like I was running out of bandwidth,\u201d he says. \u201cIt was getting so big and so complex. In the marketing department I had a $100 million ad fund, and I\u2019m like, \u2018How do I effectively execute a $100 million ad fund?\u2019\u2009\u201d Liautaud made president James North, a longtime employee he had met on a hunting trip in Alaska in 1998, the chain\u2019s first CEO.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Jimmy John\u2019s is among Roark\u2019s larger investments and likely demands outsize attention. Business has been rough lately; same-store sales have dropped each year since 2014, including 3% in 2017, according to Liautaud.<\/span><\/p>\n

      One cause of the decline: Jimmy John\u2019s was once unique for its delivery service. Now online delivery services like Seamless, Postmates and Grubhub allow customers to get subs delivered from many of Jimmy John\u2019s competitors.<\/span><\/p>\n

      The sandwich industry is also becoming increasingly concentrated and competitive: with Subway (24,812 U.S. locations), Jersey Mike\u2019s (1,482), Firehouse Subs (1,115) and others.<\/span><\/p>\n
