Each Jimmy John’s franchisee is an independent employer and thus solely responsible for hiring decisions and all other employment-related matters for the franchisee’s restaurant(s). The terms “Company,” “Jimmy John’s,” “we,” “our,” or “us” refer to the specific entity (corporate or franchise) that owns and operates the Jimmy John’s restaurant to which you are applying.

Jimmy John’s and its franchisees are equal opportunity employers.

*Subject to availability and eligibility requirements. 

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!
