Why Jimmy John’s?

No soups, no salads, just sandwiches. Our track record is best in class. Our system works. We’ve been doing this for 35 years. We’re one of the fastest growing restaurant chains in America, and we’re rated #1 Best Fast Casual Chain in the U.S. by Money Magazine. Most importantly, people love our food! 2,700 units strong and lots of room to grow.

We define fresh. Our all-natural meats and veggies are hand sliced in-house daily, and our bread is baked fresh all day, every day. That’s how it’s been since 1983. We spend 6 hours slicing and baking every day to make 30-second sandwiches for our customers. With the prep behind us, our system is designed for fast, flawless execution.

Everything about Jimmy John’s is about keeping it simple. We have a very disciplined product, menu and system. No one else is as efficient, effective or consistent as we are in delivering a fresh-made meal for under $20.

We want to be the best, and we’ll do whatever it takes to get the job done!
