Second Canadian Location Opens in Niagara Falls

Jimmy John’s, the popular U.S.-based sandwich chain known for its fresh ingredients and fast service, has officially opened its second Canadian location at Fallsview Casino in Niagara Falls. The opening marks another step in the brand’s Canadian expansion under Montreal-based Foodtastic, which operates more than 1,200 restaurants nationwide.

A Big Year of Growth Ahead

The Niagara Falls launch is just the beginning. By year’s end, 12 more Jimmy John’s restaurants are scheduled to open across the country, including in Winnipeg, Ottawa, Edmonton, Windsor, Barrie, and several sites in the Greater Toronto Area.

“We have a big appetite for opening new stores because we know how much our fellow Canadians appreciate a fantastic-tasting sandwich with fresh ingredients,” said Peter Mammas, President and CEO of Foodtastic, which oversees Jimmy John’s expansion in Canada.

What’s on the Menu

Jimmy John’s menu features a variety of cold and toasted sandwiches made with premium meats, house-sliced vegetables, and bread baked fresh throughout the day. For carb-conscious customers, the chain offers the “Unwich” — a lettuce wrap alternative — as well as kettle-cooked Jimmy Chips.

“We’re investing in Jimmy John’s because we absolutely love the entire menu,” Mammas added. “We’re happy that, like us, our friends at Fallsview Casino have discovered the incredible taste of these sandwiches.”

Community and Celebration

The brand is partnering with Fallsview Casino to host a grand opening celebration in September, giving local guests a chance to try the menu and join in the festivities.

The new restaurant is located at 6380 Fallsview Blvd., Concourse Unit C2, Niagara Falls, Ontario.
