Assistant Manager

This is a story about growing up but never getting old. 

Since day-one when our founder, Jimmy, opened his first Jimmy John’s sandwich shop, we’ve had the determination and badassery to settle for nothing less than the best. We are in early every morning baking fresh bread and slicing vegetables, and we’re not afraid to have a little (or a lot) of fun along the way. We succeed together as a family because let’s be honest, nobody can compete with the Rockstars of Jimmy John’s.

Company Introduction

We slice our all-natural* meats and fresh veggies in-house every day. Our fresh-baked bread is made right here where you can see it, and our house-made tuna salad is fresh every day. The flavor of a ripe tomato, crisp shredded lettuce, combined with fresh-baked bread, fresh-sliced meat and real Hellmann's® mayo - that's when the magic happens. Made with love every single day since 1983. That's Jimmy Fresh!
