The first Jimmy John's opened in January 1983 in the college town of Charleston, Illinois. It's menu consisted of four sandwiches "made just like they are today with meats sliced fresh in-store and always fresh-baked bread," according to its website.
"We use fresh vegetables because we don't hate salads, we just feel bad for them. We slice our provolone cheese and premium meats in-house every day, because packaged pre-sliced meats doesn't have the same ring to it. And we bake bread all day, every day because stale bread isn't bread, it's … croutons."
Jimmy John's said it bakes French bread and wheat sandwich bread in the store, with French bread baked every four hours.
"If no bread is more your style, we prep fresh leaves of lettuce to make your favorite sandwich into a lettuce-wrapped Unwich. All sandwich, no bread."
