Jimmy John’s to open sixth Dayton-area location

BEAVERCREEK — A new Jimmy John’s Gourmet Sandwiches restaurant is under development at 2476 Commons Blvd. near the Mall at Fairfield Commons.

The Beavercreek site will be the sixth Dayton-area location of the Illinois-based sandwich chain, and the fourth for local franchise owners Jon and Erika Wyss and Brad Hohla. The trio also operate Jimmy John’s locations in Springboro, Sugarcreek Twp. and Miami Twp. The Jimmy John’s locations near the University of Dayton and in Troy are under separate franchise ownership.

The restaurant franchise’s owners signed a lease on the 1,800-square-foot space earlier this month, and plans call for the sandwich shop to open in late summer, franchise co-owner Jon Wyss said. The site is located in the same retail complex as Bruning’s Wine & Clock shop and Osaka Japanese Steakhouse.

Wyss said he and his partners were drawn by the location. “There’s a lot of synergy from the Mall at Fairfield Commons,” Wyss said, and Commons Boulevard is a high-traffic connector between medical and retail facilities in the area.

The sandwich shop will seat about 55 and will open with 25 to 30 employees, Wyss said. Like all Jimmy John’s, the new restaurant will offer delivery.
