JamBox Sandwich Shop, a new concept from Nashville restaurateurs Shane Nasby and Tyler Lechtanski, announced it will open in Fait la Force Brewing on June 19. Nasby, the industry veteran behind Cledis Burgers & Beer Garden, and Operating Partner Lechtanski have teamed up with the Wedgewood-Houston brewery to offer guests a selection of creatively handcrafted sandwiches.
“I’m really excited about this concept,” said Nasby in a statement. “It’s been an idea for a while, and now we have an awesome partnership and team to bring it to life. I’ve always been a fan of Fait la Force, both the brewery and the people, and it’s a natural fit for us to roll out this sandwich concept in a way that will complement their stellar beer.”
Nasby created the menu for JamBox and has joined forces with Tyler Lechtanski to run the day-to-day operations of the new concept. Lechtanski brings more than two decades of hospitality industry experience to JamBox. He has spent the last 13 years with J. Alexander Restaurants, serving as General Manager of the Nashville staple.
“I’m looking forward to showing our guests what we’ve been working on,” said Lechtanski. “We’ve built a strong partnership with Fait la Force, and Shane and I are really excited about the menu. We can’t wait for people to try these imaginative sandwiches while enjoying a great local beer.”
The menu will consist of 10 sandwiches – each topped with a sweet or savory signature jam – with additional sandwich offerings rotating regularly. Each sandwich is named for a popular song, or “jam”, from the ‘80s and ‘90s. The menu will be ever-changing, with the opening menu including the Orange Crush, topped with chicken breast, pepper jack cheese, bacon, boom boom slaw, crispy wontons, and orange marmalade jam; and Kool Moe Dee with Black Forest ham, white American cheese, bacon, fresh mint leaves, and apple butter jam.
“We’re seeing a trend of local restaurants opening concepts in local breweries,” said Parker Loudermilk, co-owner and founder of Fait la Force. “When we talked about this opportunity with Shane and Tyler, we knew it would be the perfect fit. We’re all passionate about delivering the best experience for customers while giving back and investing in our community.”
JamBox Sandwich Shop will be located within Fait la Force Brewing, and open Tuesday and Wednesday from 4 – 9 p.m., and Thursday – Sunday from 11 a.m. – 9 p.m. Offsite catering for groups of all sizes will be available upon opening.
