Jimmy John’s opens in Hamilton, Ontario, marking its 20th location in Canada

Jimmy John’s is celebrating the opening of its 20th location in Canada on November 12 at 256 Mud Street West, Hamilton, Ontario. To mark the occasion, the first 100 guests will receive a free regular sandwich and a 16 oz. drink. Customers can also enjoy Classic Regular sandwiches for just $7 throughout the day.

Local entrepreneur Vasi Santhiarajah owns and operates the Hamilton location, bringing their extensive franchise experience to the community. She has been in the franchising sector for over 10 years.

"Reaching 20 locations marks an exciting chapter in Jimmy John’s continued growth and reflects our commitment to bringing its sandwich offerings to more communities across Ontario," said Mike Warren, Director of Operations at Jimmy John's.

The Hamilton restaurant will be among the first in Canada to offer Jimmy John’s new, larger bread sizes. The regular sandwich will now be served on an 8-inch bun, up from the previous 6-inch size. The large sandwich will increase from 12 inches to 16 inches. These expanded sizes will also be available at the Etobicoke and Vaughan locations.
