Jimmy John’s Gourmet Sandwiches

February 9th, 2011

Jimmy Johns Tyler TexasJimmy John’s Gourmet Sandwiches has opened a restaurant off of Troop in Tyler. I have seen this restaurant for a while but I have finally had the opportunity to eat there. The set up of the restaurant is very unique with the sarcastic signs, modern style, and open kitchen. I would always laugh when I drove by and saw the neon sign that read “Free Smells”, but when you walked in the store you knew right away what they are talking about. The great smells of freshly cook bread is the first thing that greets you as you walk into the restaurant. The kitchen is open and the sandwiches that you order are prepared right in front of you so that you are ensured that your sandwiches are made fresh. The menu is all the great inventions of Jimmy John himself, with the exception of a few friends and family. All of the sandwiches have different selections of fresh bread, meats, cheeses, sauces, and vegetables.

Jimmy John’s slogan “no shirts, no shoes, no problem; we deliver.” is a great way to express the convenience of their delivery services. They can cater to any size party, including sandwich trays or large subs, chips, drinks, cookies, and even pickle spears. The food is made fresh and delivered to your door or business. You can make orders online or by calling into the store.

Jimmy John’s restaurant has a great menu of tasty and fresh sandwiches. The great atmosphere and polite service makes the restaurant a great place to catch up with friends, go on a lunch date, or have a lunch business meeting. Jimmy John’s restaurant is a new kind of deli here in East Texas, and with the open kitchen you can see and taste the freshness of their sandwiches.

Lowes Hardware Store in Tyler and Lindale

July 6th, 2010


When you are redoing your kitchen or bathroom, or if you are building that new play ground for your children, you want to know the best place to buy your materials. If you are like me than you probably want to know where the people are most ready to help you and answer all your questions.

I hate going into a Tyler TX hardware store and not finding anyone to help me, and I have no idea what I need to accomplish my projects.

At Lowes they have a little switch that you flip when you need help. This system is extremely annoying, and it does not work. So many times we have sat at a counter and waited for someone to answer the intercom announcing that there is help needed in the washer machine department. So many times no one has come and I just give up and walk away.

I can just picture two men arguing while they are out back having a smoke, who should go out and help me. Not only does this system not work at all, the automatic intercom voice is extremely annoying. I cringe when I need to ask for help because of the reason that I have to hear that voice. I think that all home improvement stores should have more staff ready to help answer questions.

Lindale opened a Lowes hardware store a few years ago. This really makes it a whole lot easier to go to the hard ware store when you live out towards Lindale. I have live out in the country and been working on a house, and it is really hard to do big projects when you have to drive an hour to get to the closest store. I really do like to go to Lowes because they have great deals, especially on appliances.

When your car barely fits your double stroller in the trunk, you can not really expect to fit a dish washer in your car, so Lowes has delivery. At times their delivery services are really great. But I have witnessed a stressful experience when Lowes had to deliver a washer machine and the first washer machine did not work, the second machine had such a big dent in the side that the barrel inside could not turn.

It got pretty frustrating when you have a lot of people doing the laundry in one house and no washer. But there was a time that they successfully delivered and installed a stacked washer and dryer with out hurting it or doing to much damage to my house.

The delivery service is pretty affordable but if you know how to install these appliances than I recommend that you borrow your friend’s truck and pick it up yourself.

If you wait until the end of the season, you can find great sales. At the end of the summer I found a beautiful outdoor swing for about half the price. If you are willing to wait you can find everything you need for the next year at a really great price.

Lowes has all that you need for any building project, I just recommend that you take someone with you that knows what they are doing, because you probably will have to hunt down help in the store.
