A Jimmy John's Gourmet Sandwich franchise catering to those who want tasty sandwiches with fresh baked bread, delivered fast, is coming soon to downtown Norfolk. It will occupy the same building on Granby Street where the former Calvin & Lloyd store on Plume Street sold antiques and other boutique accessories. Calvin & Lloyd now operates on Brooke Street. Jimmy John's slogans promise speed and gastronomic satisfaction as it delivers party platters and subs as well as box lunches: "You buy. I fly. Freaky, fast delivery. No crowd too big. No hunger too great. No schmancy too fancy." Founded in 1983 in Charleston, Ill., by Jimmy John Liautaud, the franchise has gone national. It has eight shops in Virginia, including one at 1220 Greenbrier Pkwy. in Chesapeake. There are 950 stores nationwide.
