Jimmy John's: Fastest Sandwiches in America

Jimmy John's is a sandwich shop that is located on college campuses world wide.  This particular shop is located on Monroe Street on the Oregon State campus in Corvallis, Oregon.  Jimmy John's delivers their sandwiches all across campus by workers who ride their bikes.  Their motto is they will deliver in 15 minutes or less.

This is a view of the menu and also behind the counter.  They make sandwiches by assembly line to ensure extreme speed.

Alex Lin, a sophomore at OSU majoring in business, works at OSU to help pay for his education.  You can see him here as he quickly sprinkles the lettuce on one of Jimmy John's trademark sandwiches called "The Bootlegger."

Rachael Tannehill, a junior at OSU, also work part time here at Jimmy John's.  She works behind the register and says usually the sandwiches are ready before she can give people back their change.

This is a vintage clock found in the sandwich shop. It has the date of when the first Jimmy John's was established in 1983.  It also reminds the workers of their motto, "15 minutes or less."
