While this location isn't close enough to deliver to campus areas, owner Steve Arnold said he opened the new location to provide another option to those who cannot get a delivery order from the Village if it is out of their delivery range.
It will be delivering to apartments including Sugarbush Apartments, Silvertree Communities and University Estates.
The new franchise will open sometime this week and will provide more job openings and more new employees, Arnold said.
Students who live around the Ball State area said they were happy about a new franchise opening up.
“A Jimmy John's on Bethel is a great idea,” Dani Staley, junior sociology major, said.
The new store will provide a more convenient location to students who do not live close to Ball State’s campus, she said.
“None of the other stores deliver in the area, so everyone who lives in Windermere, University Estates and Woods Edge can now get it delivered," Staley said. "It’s great news, but it’s definitely going to hurt my bank account."
Cale Hansen, a junior social work major who lives in Windermere Place Apartments, had the same opinion on the new opening.
“I love the fact that there is a Jimmy John's opening close-by,” Hansen said. “I am excited, because it adds another option that’s close to where I live and allows for some food variety."
