In 1983, it would be a 19-year-old with two first names that would answer America’s cry for lunch – Jimmy John Liautaud. And for the years following he’s been busy making “the world’s greatest gourmet sandwich,” and now the brand has over 2000 stores open.
Jimmy John’s is different from the rest: it’s good, it’s fast, at a decent price! Bread is baked in-house everyday and served fresh. Meats and veggies are sliced fresh in-house everyday. Nothing is delivered pre-sliced. Real Hellmann’s mayo, real Grey Poupon, real olive oil and red wine vinegar – it’s the best of the best.
“Love the Taste. Taste the Love,” is a neon sign hanging in their window on Red Road at Sunset Place. Walk in, and you’re greeted by smiling friendly faces. And talk about “Serious Delivery,” they’ve got cyclists to get your sandwich real fast within 1.5 miles of the SOMI location, seven days a week.
