Jimmy John's has launched a three-day hiring event Tuesday to add up to 10,000 employees to work in its 2,600 nationwide locations.

"The Jimmy John's brand has seen tremendous growth and sustained demand across its more than 2,600 locations since the beginning of the year," COO Sarah Mueth said in a company press release. "Many of our franchise owners and brand leaders began their careers in our restaurants, and our jobs have always presented unique opportunities for those looking to learn new skills, save for continued education, or chart their path to a successful career. Whether in management, on the line, or back of house, the skill sets developed as a Jimmy John's team member help lay the foundation for a strong future."

As part of a broader brand evolution, which began in February this year, Jimmy John's has been focused on continuing to reach new guests and refining its channels and operations to meet customers where they are by menu innovation, a refreshed visual identity and a national creative campaign focused on sandwich excellence debuting on television advertising's biggest stage, according to the release.

The chain offers flexible hours and some locations are offering base hourly wages well above the national average, Mueth said. Eligible candidates will learn fundamental life skills, including leadership, management, customer service and prioritization through employee training, growth and development programs at Jimmy John's. Employees at company-owned store and corporate locations are eligible for other benefits including employee-retention bonuses, referral incentives, advancement opportunities, tuition assistance, paid time off, parental family leave, 401(k) contribution, monthly and quarterly bonuses.
