The first-ever food truck for the Jimmy John's brand is rolling through Danville, Illinois.

Franchise operator Patrick Wampler, who owns and operates six stores, is piloting the food truck at a local college and a sports complex, according to a report at The News Gazette.

"We've got the first Jimmy John's food truck in the country," General Manager Chris Lehmann told the news outlet. "It's been up and running for about a month now, and yeah, it's pretty sweet."

Food is prepped at aphysical store location for the truck, which does not have an oven.

"If we make it successful, and it continues to work like it has early on, I think the goal would be for other operators and other people to get them," Wampler told the news outlet.
