Indigo Joes Sports Pub

Superior Concept:
 Indigo Joe's Sports Pub & Restaurant is much more than your typical sports bar  and grill. We have created a unique niche. We are, most importantly, a family  oriented restaurant. One that just happens to specialize in sports.

 Most sports pubs do well during the intense  fall sports season. But during the rest of the  year business drops off dramatically in  these other establishments. Indigo Joe's  has positioned itself as a quality family  restaurant first. An excellent, varied menu  allows you to compete with other dining  establishments on an even playing field all  year round. Our great salads, wines,  steaks, and burgers also help to create a  place far apart from your typical male  dominated, smoke-filled environment normally associated with run of the mill sports bar  concepts. And the enclosed kid's game room makes Indigo Joe's a fun, happy place for  the entire family. And our immaculate restrooms, well-lighted interior, and emphasis on  comfortable seating make Indigo Joe's a place people want to be.

 But don't think Indigo Joe's doesn't take it sports seriously. Far from it! Indigo Joe's is  committed to being the very best place for fans to view their favorite sports teams.  Team banners are grouped by conference and region, so fans feel comfortable. Our  focus on college and professional sports ensures no one is left out when it comes to  being in the middle of the action. Many fans enjoy visiting our famous coaches wall,  with customized, autographed pictures of some of the most prolific sports figures in the  public eye.

 Indigo Joe's is also committed to being technologically ahead of the game, with  plasma, high definition, and large screen televisions strategically positioned so every  fan has the best seat in the house. State of the art, wireless voice boxes bring the  sound of the game directly to each table and every guest.

 Training:
 Prior to the opening of your store, you will be required to attend and successfully  complete Indigo Joe's intensive 6-week franchise training

 Other Training Support:
 Store opening training will be provided by our Corporate Training Team for 10 days prior  to opening date of your store and until 7 days after. This training will include a more  “hands on” approach to managing and successfully running
 an Indigo Joe's restaurant. During this period we will work closely with you and your  staff to insure a smooth opening and transition to making your Indigo Joe's a successful  operation.

 Ongoing Support:
 As an Indigo Joe's franchisee, you will benefit from our dedication to helping you  become successful. We consider you and your team a vital, individual link in the Indigo  Joe's chain of success.

 It is our attention to each unit that makes Indigo Joe's strong. Our Corporate Support  Team not only instructs you during the introductory training program, but also provides  ongoing knowledge and support long after your store is up and running. From our  Detailed Operations Manual to our veteran Field Service representatives, we will  continue to provide advice and counsel to you in all areas of operation.
