Jimmy John’s opens its first-ever drive-thru only site

Customers can’t dine in at Jimmy John’s new restaurant concept.

The sandwich chain, which has more than 2,600 locations across 43 states, has opened its first-ever drive-thru and pick-up only site, in Bartow, Fla. The opening comes as more and more restaurants are testing to-go-only concepts amid the popularity of off-premise dining.

Designed by ChangeUp in collaboration with Jimmy John’s parent company Inspire Brands, the new restaurant represents an entirely new format for the fast-growing business, with a digital-forward approach that promotes mobile order pick-up and preserves the brand’s signature “freaky fast” reputation.

The design also builds upon Jimmy John’s refreshed brand identity, which launched last year, and was also done in collaboration with ChangeUp.
