The Jimmy Johns in Taylorville has a new owner. It’s been a little over a month since Tom Dueker took over the location. He’s been with Jimmy Johns for while in a role that had him traveling around to help different stores. Now he gets to focus on just one. 

Some bad luck at the beginning of the pandemic turned into good fortune for Dueker. He was forced to work part time at Jimmy Johns in Tuscola which ultimately brought him to Taylorville.

Dueker’s time with Jimmy Johns dates back to his college days. He started doing deliveries and it just felt like the right fit.

There are a lot of things the pandemic can teach businesses. Dueker explains with Jimmy Johns one of the big things is to get involved in the community.

Dueker appeared as a guest on the WTIM Morning Show.
