“There’s been a tremendous increase in business and we don’t see that slowing down for some time,” company spokeswoman Kelly Hartford said Tuesday. “People want to stock up so they don’t have to go out, or they want a home-cooked meal. Everyone needs to eat.”

Jobs are available at the 4S Ranch, Carlsbad, Carmel Valley, Escondido and Horton Plaza locations. “As a result of recent announcements and guidance from the county of San Diego Health and Human Services Agency, we acknowledge our customers will continue to have increased needs during this difficult time and we want to be able to provide for them,” said Jim “Jimbo” Someck, founder of Jimbo’s.

Jimbo’s will continue their work with nonprofits to help fill the needs of various organizations. “We pride ourselves on doing the right thing,” Hartford said. “We look at this as a two-fold benefit. We are keeping food options available for many people and we are contributing to the economy by hiring help.”

Hartford said some of the positions would likely become permanent after the worst of the coronavirus has passed.
