[ARGUS]

Any reviews? East of Yale near 18th & the Ritz.

There is a Jimmy John's in Tulsa?

Awesome.

I love their bread and they have excellent rare roast beef. This is better than good news for Tulsa sandwich lovers.

Last I saw, it wasn't open yet, but that's been at least a week.

I drove by today and it was open...I also love Jimmy John's but have not visited this one.

I predict a visit to Jimmy John's in my near future.

You should buy me lunch there, Argus

Mmmmm, Jimmy John's Haven't had it in a couple of years & I'm missing it! Love the french bread & the sprouts they put on the sandwiches. Everything is so fresh. My favorites are the Turkey Tom & the Beach Club. The jumbo kosher dill pickles make an excellent side. Popular late-night choice after the bars @ Indiana University

Could this be a candidate for our next TNF lunch?  Or is it not big enough to accomodate all our eg..err...us.

I'm sure he was heading to target, not sure why anyone would bother heading to the ritz

Hey, I head that direction frequently.

But it's because I'm headed to Collin's Midtown Liquors for my Marshall fix.

yeah, but that's in that direction, not to.

I love JJ's. I've been twice since it opened. It was getting frustrating seeing them in every town in every direction (Wichita, OKC, NW Ark, Joplin, Springfield, Dallas, KC, etc) but none here.

This is supposed to be the first of many locations in the metro area. I'm praying one of them ends up being open 'til 3am, like all their college town locations.

I talked with the owners about nine months ago when they were still exploring Tulsa.  They are very nice people and moved to Tulsa just to build these stores.  The primary investor owns multiple stores in North Caroline.  The managing partner is a former corporate trainer for Jimmy John's.  I would expect the quality of their stores to be top notch.  That said, I felt a little sorry for them and how they ended up signing a lease on that location.  They were excited to be located across the street from an active minor league baseball stadium.  I had to work hard to convince them their broker had misled them and the Drillers no longer played at 15th & Yale.

Moving into the Tulsa market is a new strategy for JJ's.  They've always operated in college markets but have found that market to be saturated at this point.  Any growth will have to come from second tier cities like Tulsa.  I would expect to see locations around I-44, Tulsa Hills, 71st St Corridor and south county/north Bixby.

Operating in college markets was their strategy some time ago. They've long since moved past that. They have dozens of stores in the Dallas and KC metros, most not near colleges. In NW Ark, they have the one college-y downtown Fayetteville location, but two more in the suburban non-college areas. In Missouri, they have dozens in non-college locations (Branson, the edges of Springfield, all over St Louis).
