The Jon Smith Subs Story
Jon Smith. Today he’s all about great subs. High quality, fresh, delicious subs. But his journey to the best sub has had some interesting turns.
While pouring his passion into infusing quality into the sandwich industry he’s also an avid motorcycle rider, he pilots small planes and he’s been a horse trainer. He’s won race car championships and has even formed a Nashville area band, fittingly called The Jon Smith Band. He’s also honed his business acumen in several other industries by opening and developing an ice cream concept, grinders restaurant, and swimwear stores. All were sold successfully and are still in business to this day.
MAKING SUBS SINCE 1988
He began his journey into freshness in 1988 when he purchased two failing sub shops. He transformed the menu, pricing, and overall operations and won customers over. He added a new prototype and quickly realized the more he built, the more the business grew. Today he has locations throughout Palm Beach County, Florida.
The story of Jon Smith Subs is one of success. Decades of hard work resulting in delicious results for customers, and a great place to work for the dedicated staff in all the locations. For the man who loves the thrill of flying high, racing fast and striking all the right notes, the dream of delivering the best tasting sub has been realized.
