A Jimmy John’s sandwich shop is now
open at 1800 SE Mile Hill Dr. in Port Orchard, according to a
Tuesday news release.
The 1,400-square-foot store features a drive-thru window, as well as indoor seating. Delivery and catering are available.
The Port Orchard franchise is owned by Angela Daniels and Mary Jo Smallman, who also own the Jimmy John’s in Bremerton.
They plan to open a Silverdale location in 2017.
UPDATE: For those
of you wondering, it appears the applicants for the new Taco
Bell project are also owners of the existing Taco Bell on
Wheaton Way.
A Taco Bell with drive-thru is planned for a vacant lot on Highway 303, south of Fairgrounds Road, according to a permit application filed with the county.
The 2,000-square-foot restaurant will be built adjacent to Starbucks, Quiznos and, most interestingly, a Taco del Mar.
(Taco Time is located on the same stretch of highway, and there’s a Taco Bell less than 2 miles south on Wheaton Way.)

Poulsbo’s shiny new Sonic Drive-In made its long-awaited debut Wednesday.
Judging by the lineup of cars along Viking Avenue, and the police officer directing traffic, it was a successful launch.
Nothing seems to stir up excitement around here quite like the arrival of a new restaurant chain. So for those of you who braved the lines, I’m curious: What did you think?
What did you order? How long did you wait? Are you an old Sonic fan or was this your first time? Did it live up to the hype? Was it everything your taste buds longed for?

Poulsbo’s Sonic Drive-In looks tantalizingly close to opening, but fans of the fast food chain will have to wait a little longer for their burgers and dogs.
The opening has been delayed, according to a post on the restaurant’s Facebook page, and no official opening date has been set:
Sorry, folks, it turns out that after some delays, we have had to postpone our open date.
Don’t worry though, we are very close to bringing the tots, slushes, and ice cream we are known for to the wonderful people of Kitsap County.
Keep an eye on your local media outlets and this page to stay up to date on when we will finally be open.
(For the record, the developer for the Sonic told us in early August there was no set date for the opening, despite a report to the contrary.)
It has already been a long wait for Sonic devotees. News of the restaurant’s arrival trickled out more than a year ago, but construction was pushed back by changes to the site plan.
The
building finally went up last spring and
crews were busy at the property all summer. The Sonic is
located at the northwest corner of Highway 305 and Viking
Avenue.

When a CVS was first approved in Poulsbo, plans called for both a pharmacy and a fast food restaurant.
The drug store opened in February. The restaurant never materialized.
Now CVS is selling the leftover parcel on Highway 305. Colliers International listed the 1.07-acre property for $1.25 million.
The assessed value of the lot is about $285,000.
The CVS property is located on the northeast corner of Highway 305 and Hostmark Street. A large retail building was torn down to make way for the development.

After months of inactivity, Poulsbo’s future Sonic Drive-In is getting built in a hurry.
Walls started going up last week at the site off Viking Way at Highway 305. Much of the structure took shape over the weekend. Workers were busy framing Sunday morning.
The highly-anticipated
fast food joint was
initially expected to open late last year. Alterations to the
site plan
delayed construction. The city issued a building permit
for the project April 13.
The 2,150-square-foot restaurant will be somewhat unique for the chain. Last we’d seen, the building designs included a patio seating area with garage-style doors that could be rolled up during sunny weather and closed when it’s cold.
I’ll let you know when I hear an opening date.
The Poulsbo city planning department gave
the green light Tuesday for a Sonic Drive-In restaurant.
Plans for the much-hyped fast food restaurant were submitted back in April. The Sonic will be built at the northwest corner of Highway 305 and Viking Way, near the Highway 3 interchange.
Cascade Development Group LLC. is spearheading the project. Columbia Property Managers LLC. bought the corner property in June for $1.25 million, according to assessors documents.
Cascade principal Richard Ramsey said the restaurant is on track to open by the end of the year. Site work could begin this summer.
The 2,300-square-foot floor restaurant will include indoor seating – a new design element for Sonic in Washington. Roll-up doors will be opened when the weather is warm.
“On nice days it will feel like a patio,” Ramsey said.
Site plans call for 34 parking spaces, including 16 large stalls for carhop service.
The Viking Way parcel was originally approved for a gas station, car wash and fast food restaurant. Cascade filed a revision to those plans that included only the Sonic.
The planning decision can be appealed to a hearing examiner. Documents are embedded below.

A prominent Poulsbo corner
is being transformed this week as crews tear down the former Bad
Blanche Outlet building to make way for a pharmacy and fast
food restaurant.
The 38,000-square-foot building, formerly Northwest Design Center, has long anchored the corner of Hostmark Street and Highway 305.
A CVS pharmacy and to-be-announced fast food restaurant were recently approved for the site.
Velmeir Companies of Michigan is developing the property.
Silverdale diners will soon have another breakfast option.
An IHOP restaurant is expected to open on
Bucklin Hill Road in September.
Franchise owner Mohammad Khadar will close his restaurant on Wheaton Way in Bremerton a week prior to the move. He plans to relocate staff to Silverdale.
Khadar, a Mukilteo businessman who operates 12 IHOP locations in the Northwest, said he’s had his eye on the Silverdale market.
“All the action is there, all the activity,” he said.
The county approved a building permit this month to allow the restaurant to move to a 5,000-square-foot space at 3150 Bucklin Hill Road. The IHOP will join Little Caesars in a recently-constructed retail building just east of Silverdale Way, across the street from Hop Jacks.
There are roughly 1,600 IHOP franchises across the country.

A Sonic Drive-In is one step closer to construction on Poulsbo’s Viking Way.
The city received an application for a proposed 2,148-square-foot fast food restaurant with drive-thru. The application requests a revision to the existing site plan for the property, which had been approved for a 3,900-square-foot convenience store, gas station and fast food complex.
The new site plan proposal includes just a Sonic restaurant and 30 parking spots. You can click on the graphic on the right to expand.
Patrons would have a few dining options. They could order from the drive-thru window or park in the lot and be served by carhops. The restaurant wouldn’t have true indoor seating, but it would have covered patio seating, with garage-style doors that could be rolled down during bad weather.
JWJ Group LLC. owns the property at 21895 Viking Way and is pursuing the site plan revision. A Seattle development firm is negotiating the purchase of the land and plans to build a Sonic there. It’s one of many Sonic locations slated for the Puget Sound region.
You can see some preliminary building plans below below: Continue reading
