Russo Modular, a leader in advanced modular construction solutions, is thrilled to announce a strategic partnership with Jimmy John’s, the popular sandwich chain known for its “Freaky Fast” delivery.

PHOENIX, JULY 1, 2025 /PRNEWSWIRE-PRWEB/ — The new collaboration between Russo Modular and Jimmy John’s will incorporate recently developed drive-thru modular designs and patented construction technologies to scale and streamline the franchise expansion.

Pioneering Scalable Expansion

Russo Modular’s controlled, scalable manufacturing program is set to transform franchise growth for Jimmy John’s. By utilizing Russo’s innovative QSR building techniques, the scalable franchise model enables controlled, streamlined development and rapid expansion into new markets with multiple locations. A significant competitive edge is gained while dramatically reducing both time and costs compared to scaling with traditional construction methods. Factory-controlled construction ensures consistent builds across all locations, enabling faster revenue generation and improved ROI for franchisees. With drive-thrus now representing over 70% of QSR revenue, this partnership positions Jimmy John’s for accelerated growth in the competitive market.

Industry Impact

This partnership comes at a critical time for the franchise industry, as the global modular construction market is projected to grow from $104.65 billion in 2024 to $214.76 billion by 2034, while the QSR market is expected to expand from $289.68 billion to $468.98 billion over the same period.¹ By combining Jimmy John’s proven franchise model with Russo’s award-winning modular technology, the partnership establishes a new blueprint for franchise expansion that controls everything from labor shortages and cost pressures to enabling profitable operations in smaller footprints, opening up secondary market opportunities.

A Vision for the Future

With a forward-thinking approach to franchise expansion, both companies are poised to set new standards in the fast-food industry, offering franchisees a robust and adaptable platform for success not available a few years ago.

“This collaboration represents more than just a construction solution – it’s setting the industry standard for how successful franchise brands will scale in the future,” said Rustin Russo, Managing Partner of Russo Modular. “This partnership creates a controlled, consistent system and model for rapid expansion, with more usable square footage and faster time-to-market than anything available in traditional construction.”
