Demolition So Fast You’ll Freak, St. Louis Style

What do you do when you just must have a drive-thru for your Jimmy John's? Adapt the current location? Build on one of the many vacant lots near your current location? Purchase an existing drive-thru? No, no and no. In St. Louis you demolish three perfectly functional and attractive buildings.

It's not a done-deal yet, the public hearing is scheduled for next Thursday, May 12. The three buildings, owned by local development firm Sangita, at 3834-3838 Laclede would be demolished and replaced with a Jimmy Johns with a drive-thru. The current Jimmy John's on Forest Park Avenue would be relocated. The proposal is to demolish three buildings to relocate a Jimmy John's.
