Oh, how we love Jimmy John’s. Oh, how we wish we had paid with cash.

Jimmy John’s confirmed through an official statement that a nationwide credit card data breach occurred throughout 216 of its locations. Transactions made from June 16 to September 5 are at risk after login information was stolen, and customer credit and debit information was compromised.

Jimmy John’s has provided a list of the 216 stores affected, so you can search for your local Jimmy John’s and see if you should freak out or not. (When you’re done freaking out, just request a new debit or credit card from your bank.)

If you order online, there’s a small bit of relief, as only cards swiped in stores were affected by this breach. So the info inputted on the site is still secure.

The investigation is ongoing, and Jimmy John’s said it will be implementing encrypted swipe machines in the near future.
