Jimmy John’s Sandwich Opening In Eastlake

Let’s be real—I had almost given up hope. After what felt like an eternity of anticipation, false starts, and endless speculation, the day has finally arrived: we have an official opening date for the brand-new Jimmy John’s Sandwich shop in Eastlake Chula Vista! If you’ve been following this saga, you know this has been a long time coming. And trust me, I’m as shocked as you are that it’s happening.

Mark your calendars, sandwich lovers! The new Jimmy John’s will be popping up at 2260 Otay Lakes Rd #101, Chula Vista, CA 91915—right in the Vons shopping center, next door to Dunkin’ Donuts. Speaking of which, here’s a fun tidbit: the owner of the Dunkin’ Donuts is also the brains behind this Jimmy John’s location. Talk about a powerhouse duo!

Now, I’ll admit it—I may have been a little skeptical about this whole thing. In fact, a few months ago, I even made a video ranting about how this might never happen and suggesting they just take down the signs already. (Hey, I call it like I see it!) But in my defense, the City of Chula Vista isn’t exactly known for speeding through construction permits. So, yeah, I might’ve been a bit harsh. And when those doors finally open, I’ll be the first to eat my words—and one of their famously delicious sandwiches.

So, when can you get your hands on those fresh, fast, and freaky good subs? Here’s the scoop on their grand opening Sunday February 2nd 10 AM to 12 AM:

  • The first 25 guests in line starting at 10:00 AM will win Free Sandwiches for a Year!
  • They will have giveaways
  • Music
  • Prize wheel
  • A Ribbon Cutting

Are you as excited as I am to have Jimmy John’s in the Eastlake area finally? Whether you’re a longtime fan or a curious first-timer, this is one opening you won’t want to miss. Let me know in the comments if you’ll be lining up on day one—I know I will!

I have lived in this great community for over 30 years. In that time I have seen so many changes both good and bad. My goal is to promote this city and all of the good that goes on here. There are so many local events, small businesses and community groups making this city even better. You can always find me at the events taking photos. This site is a passion project of mine and I want to use this platform to get the community engaged. Get out and enjoy Chula Vista and make sure to follow me on all the socials for more!
