What are some examples of 'non-traditional venues' where Jersey Mike's may place company-owned or franchised restaurants within a franchisee's Designated Area?

According to Jersey Mike's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Jersey Mike's retains the right to establish company-owned or franchised restaurants in non-traditional venues within a franchisee's designated area. This means that even though a franchisee is granted a specific territory, Jersey Mike's can still open additional locations within that territory in certain types of locations.

These non-traditional venues include locations such as airports, casinos, arenas, hospitals, hotels, malls, military installations, national parks, schools, stadiums, and theme parks. This is a fairly standard practice in the franchise industry, particularly for food-service brands, as these venues often have unique customer bases and may not be adequately served by traditional retail locations.

For a prospective Jersey Mike's franchisee, this means that while you will have a designated area, your territory is not completely exclusive. Jersey Mike's could potentially open another restaurant within your area in one of these non-traditional venues. This could impact your potential customer base and revenue. It is important to consider the potential for these non-traditional venues when evaluating the potential of a specific location and to discuss this policy with Jersey Mike's during your due diligence.
