Jimmy John's is bringing back its Picklewich and pickle-flavored Jimmy Chips on October 26, 2026, and adding five mystery pickle plushie keychains called Pickle Pals to its Triple Pickle meal on October 27, according to [Yahoo](https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/articles/jimmy-johns-just-brought-back-163520585.html). The plushies come only with the meal, one per person per transaction, while supplies last.

## What the Triple Pickle Meal Includes

The Picklewich uses a giant dill pickle in place of bread, and the meal pairs a customer's choice of Picklewich with a bag of pickle-flavored Jimmy Chips and one blind-bag Pickle Pal. Jimmy John's lists six Picklewich options, including the Vito, made with salami and capocollo, along with turkey, ham, roast beef, tuna and veggie versions. The Pickle Pals are available at participating locations nationwide, ordered in-store or at the drive-thru, and are not sold separately.

There are five characters to collect: Lulu, J.J., Big John, Vito and Tom, described as ultra-rare. Each arrives in a mystery bag, and customers cannot request or exchange a specific character. Suzanne DeRouchie, vice president of integrated marketing communications at Jimmy John's, said the return is something pickle lovers look forward to all year. "Our new Pickle Pals add a playful element of surprise to the Triple Pickle, with five characters to collect," she said. "You never know which one you'll get until you open the bag, making every Triple Pickle meal a little more fun and giving fans a reason to keep coming back to collect them all."

## Earlier Picklewich and Menu News

Yahoo reported on October 21, 2026 that the Picklewich, made with a giant dill pickle instead of bread, would return October 26 with pickle-flavored chips and plush Pickle Pal keychains in a limited-time meal. On October 11, 2026, Yahoo reported that Jimmy John's employees name the Italian Night Club as the chain's best-selling sandwich, though the company has not officially named it so, and that a Mashed survey had 27% of voters pick it as the best.

## Picklewich Against Rival Sandwich Launches

McDonald's is expanding its chicken offerings, including grilled chicken sandwiches, after the item was removed in 2020, [Fox News](https://www.foxnews.com/food-drink/former-mcdonalds-exec-spills-beans-why-healthier-menu-favorite-got-axe) reported on October 21, 2026. Former culinary innovation manager Mike Haracz said the sandwich failed because sales fell below a profitable threshold. Subway launched the Chicken Frankie in Mexico on October 20, 2026, a sandwich with chicken, guacamole, salsa macha, Manchego cheese, jalapeños and Doritos priced at 95 pesos, [Expansion](https://expansion.mx/mercadotecnia/2026/10/20/subway-chicken-frankie-que-tiene-cuando-llega-mexico) reported.
