A co-branded Jimmy John's and Baskin-Robbins restaurant is expected to open soon at the Delano Crossings shopping center in Delano, Minnesota. The new location will be the 14th overall for the franchise group Lunch Money Management and its third co-branded Jimmy John's and Baskin-Robbins combination in the state.

Why it matters

The addition of the co-branded restaurant will expand the sandwich and ice cream options in Delano, which currently has a Subway and a Flippin' Bills location that recently added deli subs and premium ice cream. The franchise group hopes to build a strong community presence in Delano, similar to its other locations across the northern Minneapolis metro area.

The details

The new Delano location will be smaller than the franchise's other restaurants, with seating for about 10 people and no drive-through. The focus will be on takeout and delivery, with service through the restaurant's own drivers as well as DoorDash. The restaurant is currently hiring and plans to open soon, though no firm date has been set. Hours are expected to be 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. The Baskin-Robbins side will rotate through 24 flavors and offer grab-and-go novelty bars, pre-packed quarts, and ice cream cakes.
