BARTOW — Tom Wolf Co., a commercial real estate development and management firm based in Winter Haven, has created the first modular, drive-thru-only Jimmy John’s restaurant.

Located in Bartow, the steel-frame restaurant is built in the style of a shipping container, and according to a news release, the entire project took just 161 days to complete. Boxman Studios, an architectural and modular manufacturing firm based in Charlotte, North Carolina, constructed the building in its warehouse and then shipped it to Bartow via truck to place on site; it opened for business in late January.
