Jon Smith
Founder of Jon Smith Subs
On the road to founding the sub shop we know and love Jon Smith has taken some interesting detours. Jon is as passionate about riding his motorcycle as he is about making quality sandwiches. His interests include working on his business, piloting small planes, training horses, winning racecar championships, and playing in a band, to name a few. He doesn’t limit his business endeavors to sub shops; he also invested in an ice cream concept, a Grinders Restaurant, and a swimwear store. All of these businesses sold successfully and are still in business to this day.
