"This will be our first store in Bakersfield and our team is excited to serve fresh, fast and tasty sandwiches to a new set of customers in the area," owner Jason Berg said in a news release.
"Whether it's in our new store, through contactless delivery or ordered through our Freaky Fast Rewards loyalty program — our team is ready to serve even more guests on their terms in a way that only Jimmy John's can deliver."
Berg says he plans to hire around 25 employees. The news release mentioned that those interested can apply on Indeed.com but no Bakersfield jobs were listed on the job website or the chain's careers hub (careers.jimmyjohns.com) as of press time.
