Multi-Unit, Family-Owned Stability – JMH is a long-established franchise operator that knows how to grow and sustain high-performing stores across multiple brands. Build & Shape Your Own Team – You won’t just inherit a store; you’ll hire, train, and develop a high-performance team within JMH’s A+ Leadership framework. Collaborative Leadership Environment – While you’ll own your store’s success, you’ll also be an integral part of JMH’s leadership team, working alongside other GMs and our corporate leadership team to ensure company-wide excellence.

Competitive Pay + Performance-Based Rewards – Strong base salary plus an aggressive bonus structure tied directly to profitability and leadership success.

Grow Beyond This Role – Top-performing GMs will advance into multi-unit leadership roles across JMH’s brands.

Who We’re Looking For

Bachelor’s Degree or Equivalent Experience – A degree in business, management, or a related field is preferred, or equivalent relevant experience and/or certifications. Financial Acumen – Experience managing revenues, COGS, labor, and other controllable expenses within a P&L framework. Balanced Leadership Approach – You are a smart, courteous leader who understands the balance between solo decision-making and collaborative leadership with your fellow GMs and JMH’s corporate team. Professional & Motivational Presence – You present yourself with confidence, polish, and enthusiasm, setting the tone for your team and store.

What To Expect

Schedule: Once you have set up your store you should expect 40-50 hours weekly, 5 days, including one weekend day. Compensation: Base salary plus aggressive performance-based bonuses. Advancement: Fast-track to multi-unit leadership based on performance. Support System: As a JMH GM, you’ll have access to a full suite of corporate resources, including HR, finance, legal, marketing, and operations support.
