It was a little place and where rent was cheap so Jerry Murell took advantage of that. He first put down $35,000 to cover everything and was fixing up old equipment and making use of it. There are now over 1,700 thousand locations all around the world ]]> 2023-03-03 00:51:08 UTC https://padlet.com/pcholak8/r076cses757olx8p/wish/2501906948 pcholak8 https://padlet.com/pcholak8/r076cses757olx8p/wish/2501917275 Before the fabulous idea of selling Burgers Jerry Mullen tried many jobs and even created many business before he hit a home run. Jerry first decided to become a financial planner. He also tried selling bottled water but when that didn’t go well he started a oil company in Texas. In his experience the worst company was oil because he went down to Texas and everyone from the east was waiting to take his money. After that him and his wife started a real estate business but they eventually tried giving rid of it. So Jerry was a financial planner but tried all these businesses on the side but none of them worked until he started selling burgers. He got this idea from when he saw a small burger shop doing so success full so he got a spark and decided to keep things nice and simple and he wanted to sell burgers. After constantly failing, Jerry never thought it was the right time to quit which also really motivates me to punish forward.]]> 2023-03-03 01:00:23 UTC https://padlet.com/pcholak8/r076cses757olx8p/wish/2501917275 pcholak8 https://padlet.com/pcholak8/r076cses757olx8p/wish/2501929724 Jerry Mullen grew up in a small town where everyone knew how to cook a burger and cut potatoes so those two were Jerry’s raw talents. Jerry also sat down both of his sons and had a serious talk about if they wanted to go to college or not but both of there sons agreed on staying and helping their dad with the Five Guys business. Jerry would also take a lot of advice from his kids like he would never tell them the price of anything but he wanted to see which product was better tasting. For example they tried different brands of mayonnaise and the one that they liked better, he would use in his burgers no matter the price. So Jerry's two sons always stuck by his side.]]> 2023-03-03 01:09:37 UTC https://padlet.com/pcholak8/r076cses757olx8p/wish/2501929724 pcholak8 https://padlet.com/pcholak8/r076cses757olx8p/wish/2501943203 After opening up a successful first location, they decided to open up a second location in Arlington Virginia on Kings street. In order to open up this location Jerry needed about $150,000. After receiving many offers from franchises, Jerry turned all of them down and wanted to keep going with his big Five Guys idea. Mark their sales man said that Jerry Was able to sell about 25 stores but in about 2 years they were able to sell 3500 stores which almost covers the whole U.S. After they went to Richmond and Jerry’s biggest fear was being the new competition. He has now about 1,400 franchises sold.]]> 2023-03-03 01:20:20 UTC https://padlet.com/pcholak8/r076cses757olx8p/wish/2501943203 pcholak8 https://padlet.com/pcholak8/r076cses757olx8p/wish/2501946525 Five guys now reached a total revenue of 1.711 billions U.S dollars with Jerry Murrell still being the owner of the company.
