America has a rich history of powerful companies rising from humble beginnings.  It's the entrepreneurial spirit tht fuels the American Dream.  And at Jake's Pizza, that drive is at our very foundation.
In 1961, when the first Jake's was launched in Mount Prospect, Illinois, the ambitious young owner never dreamed that this fledgling store would one day spring up into 15 locations in 2 states.
As a matter of fact, the founder of Jake's was far more concerned with perfecting his pizza crust, tracking down the finest ingredients, and setting an unwavering standard for quality tht endures today.  And for that, we are grateful.
It's those standards - still steadfastly followed decades later - that are the source of our success today.
Today, Jake's Pizza has spread well beyond its Chicago area origins.  The Jake's marquee now appears accross the country.
We didn't prosper because of gimmick promotions or heavy discounts.  Jake's is a success because we have always put one thing first: "the Pizza."  Our ingredients are second to none, and we price our product correctly.  It's that simple, and it works.
It's for thsoe reasons that Jake's Pizza offers such a rewarding franchise opportunity.  Recent studies show that the growth of the pizza industry has remained consistant and strong, and Jake's Pizza is positioned to take full advantage of that growth.
