Assistant Manager Needed for Grand Opening Merritt Island!

Assistant Manager Needed

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. Join our team where we take pride in our all-natural* meats, fresh veggies, and freshly baked bread. Our house-made tuna salad is prepared fresh daily. We believe in delivering the best quality sandwiches with love and freshness since 1983.

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!
