It won't be the first joint location for both chains, which already have a combined branch downtown at 605 C St. and another at 2260 Otay Lakes Rd. in Chula Vista. However, it will be the first combined establishment to have a drive-thru.
Dunkin' Donuts and Jimmy John's are both owned by the same parent company, Inspire Brands, which also owns popular chains like Arby's, Baskin Robbin's, Buffalo Wild Wings and Sonic.
The Dunkin' Donuts and Jimmy John's drive-thru will be located at 4140 Convoy St.
As of Monday, no opening date has been announced.

San Diego flood victims eligible for up to $20K in mortgage aid through state fund
SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — San Diego flood victims may now qualify for a new state mortgage relief program meant to ease some of the financial burden of natural disasters. Nearly a year and half after historic flooding inundated parts of San Diego, some residents in hard hit areas are still rebuilding and the bills keep adding up. 'The original estimates that I've received was $435,000. So I'm a long way off from that,' said Southcrest resident Greg Montoya, whose Beta Street home is one of several severely damaged by the historic rainstorm in January 2024. Montoya said he's already spent more than $100,000. The majority of the cost was covered by flood insurance and some from FEMA dollars, but the rest out of pocket. A new program called CalAssist Mortgage Fund, consisting of $105 million, is giving him hope for a little extra help. Eligible homeowners whose homes were destroyed or left uninhabitable by a disaster between January 2023 and January 2025 can apply for three months of mortgage payments up to $20,000. Applicants' annual income in San Diego County must be below $172,000 to qualify. 'The application is really easy. If you have all the documents, it takes less than 30 minutes to apply. The documents are all very easily available online, like a mortgage statement or your bank account statement,' said Rebecca Franklin, Chief Deputy Director at the California Housing Finance Agency which oversees the fund. The program operates on a first come first serve basis and Franklin said the goal is to help 10,000 households statewide. When it comes to the hard-hit Southcrest neighborhood, some are done with repairs. 'Fortunately for me I was able to find a contractor that would do all the work for the $250,000 which to me is a lot of money,' said neighbor Josh Roche. Roche considers himself lucky that insurance came through, but he and his family still had out of pocket expenses. 'Especially immediately you know when we were completely displaced the city hadn't started their program where we were staying in the hotels. A lot of extra commuting. A lot of time lost from work,' Roche said. While residents said they're grateful for any help, some are still pointing the finger. 'The city should find the means to make everybody complete and start paying people because it was preventable,' said neighbor Greg Montoya. Residents can apply for the CalAssist Mortgage Fund starting Thursday. More information can be found here. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

California DMV warns of new vehicle registration support scam
Above: FOX 5 report on how to get a REAL ID in California. SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — The California Department of Motor Vehicles is urging drivers to be wary of a new online scam offering assistance to renew vehicle registration at a discounted rate. DMV officials say the latest scam uses social media posts to advertise help that could save people up to 50% on vehicle registration renewal fees. Those who respond are asked to give their license plate, Vehicle Identification Number and the customer's full name, as well as to make a payment through an online platform like CashApp. System error may have affected traffic court notices in California. Are you impacted? According to the department, requests for these details or payments will never be made through unofficial channels. They further encourage drivers to only conduct business with the DMV or with an authorized business through the Business Partner Automation Program. A list of businesses that participate in this program can be found on the DMV's website. An example of what the advertisement looks like can be found below. 'The safest way to renew your vehicle registration is directly through the official DMV website,' DMV Director Steve Gordon said in a release earlier this month. 'We do not offer discounts, and we never conduct official business through social media or other unofficial channels.' To avoid falling victim to this scam and others that have been circulating in recent months, the DMV encourages Californians to take these precautions: Steer clear of offers offering discounted DMV services — the department does not offer special deals through unauthorized third-parties or on social media. Do not respond to unsolicited or suspicious texts. Verify the source if you are unsure whether something you come across is official or if you have concerns. Officials encourage Californians do this by contacting the department's customer service team at 800-777-0133. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
