A couple years ago Jimmy John’s came to the Dallas market and those who had experienced Jimmy John’s from another market were quite excited about this arrival. Jimmy John’s was started by a 19 year old over 27 years ago in Illinois.
I had heard about Jimmy John’s bread and the wonder of it! When I visited the Indiana Avenue location I paid close attention to the bread on my sandwich, but before I continue I must disclose that I am not a bread lover. I ordered the J.J.B.L.T.® on wheat bread and instead of it being made on a sub it was made on French sliced wheat bread. The bread didn’t wow me, but maybe part of my being underwhelmed was the fact that I was disappointed that they didn’t have wheat sub bread.
Jimmy John’s environment is a bit retro. Corky signs provide for light laughs, signs such as “…where the customer is sometimes right” and “free smells”. The facility was clean. The staff was friendly. My sandwich was made superfast.
Indiana Avenue is located near Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas and the DART rail runs and stops right in front of the location and because of this there is no parking in front. However, there is free retail parking in a garage attached to the building where Jimmy John’s is located.
I visited on a Tuesday a little bit after the lunch hour and it was ghostly. This might b contributed to the economy and the elimination of “gourmet sandwiches” from people’s budget, or just a bad location. Not for sure, but what Jimmy Johns has to offer is worth buying into…at least once.
