Tomey , to you
The Tomey Group and family ’ s mission is to generate and share success
The Tomey family opened their first restaurant and established the Tomey Group in 2003 . In the true essence of a family enterprise , Anthony Tomey ( CEO ), works alongside his brother , Michael ( CFO ), sister , Christine ( CCO ), uncle , Tony ( CAO ), and father , Fawzi . Over the last 20 years , the business has grown to own 45 Jimmy John ’ s locations throughout the Detroit Metro area , and is soon opening its first Chicken Guy franchise in partnership with Guy Fieri .
“ My dad was looking for something new to get his teeth into , just as I ’ d been drafted by the Detroit Tigers ,” begins Anthony , “ and at the same time , my uncle Tony was tired of his landscaping business , so we decided to do something together . We deliberated over a number of options until I suggested Jimmy John ’ s . It ’ s been a steady favorite since I was at high school ; they serve fresh , high-quality sandwiches , and we were in a position to be one of the first to bring the brand to the suburbs . So we did it , and , although I was playing baseball at the time , I still worked throughout the whole off-season doing whatever I could .
