Default My restaurant opens Tuesday in Richmond!

So after months of training, building, and waiting.... it opens tomorrow!

I haven't been on the boards much and I am about to be on even less. The first week my schedule will be something like 5AM - 10PM, like it has been this past week.

I'd like to have you all come down and have a meet and get some food sometime! If anyone wants to coordinate that, I'm down, just let me know when you're coming. I would do it, but I'll be behind the counter haha.

Check it out, Jimmy John's Gourmet Sandwiches!

If anyone in Richmond sees this, come on in!

11301 West Broad Street
Suite 105
Glen Allen, VA 23060

"I like the tuna here"

I can see that line popping up eventually, and the inevitable retort.
Congrats on the entrepreneurial adventure!

can't afford to make less money... Z parts are expensive! Coming from the 240 world, its like night and day different. Besides, even when I do get a day off people still call like the a mo****in bill collector.

Restaurant me

but I'm not complaining... I really wouldnt have it any other way.

Good luck man - I own 3 Bagel Shops in PA and I know what you mean about the hours. With 40+ employees someone always has a question or needs to talk to you - days off are few and far between and the business is always on your mind.

Best of luck, Mike. You've got alot of guts going out on your own like that! I work on W. Broad and see myself hitting JJ's for lunch. I'd be happy to spread out some flyers, etc., around the office for you.
