Jimmy John’s Celebrates California Expansion with Grand Opening of Two San Diego Locations

Jimmy John’s, known nationwide for its Freaky Fresh sandwiches, announced it will host the grand opening of two new locations in San Diego as part of its expansion plans throughout Southern California. Local San Diego-based franchisee Tali Burton hosted the grand opening of the Carlsbad Jimmy John’s located at 7670 El Camino Real #102, on June 25, followed by the Escondido Jimmy John’s at 700 Centre City Parkway on Wednesday, June 26.

During their respective grand openings, the restaurant will surprise the first 25 guests with Free Sandwiches for a Year giveaways*, and the first 250 guests can receive a coupon for a free beverage and Jimmy Chips combo upgrade for use during their next visit. At both the Carlsbad and Escondido openings, Burton and the team at Burton Foods will host a ribbon cutting ceremony alongside their respective communities.

“Our team has always been passionate about great food, especially sandwiches, and these two Jimmy John’s openings mark an exciting milestone for our team to share that passion with our guests,” said Tali Burton, Jimmy John’s franchisee in a statement. “We look forward to our continued growth throughout California and bringing guests together over our delicious sandwiches!”

As a Marine veteran, Burton, in partnership with the Travis Manion Foundation, will honor and memorialize two fallen heroes by dedicating the new stores in their names on the one-year anniversary of the openings.
