Commission approves Toastique conditional use permit at former Jimmy John's, 1090 N. Ballas
Summary
Commissioners approved a conditional use permit to allow Toastique, proposed by Ajia Haizel (NES Investments, LLC), to convert the former Jimmy John's at 1090 N. Ballas into an 1,800 sq. ft. breakfast-oriented restaurant with daily hours and up to 10 staff per shift; exterior seating may be handled administratively.
The Des Peres Planning and Zoning Commission voted March 11 to approve a conditional use permit for Toastique at 1090 North Ballas Road, a proposed 1,800-square-foot breakfast-oriented fast-casual restaurant.
Petitioner Ajia Haizel, listed in the record as representing NES Investments, LLC (the business owner/operator and property lessee), described plans to convert the former Jimmy John's location. Staff noted the concept would include 12 interior tables, a maximum of 10 employees per shift, and hours of operation from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. The petitioner indicated this would be the franchise's first Missouri location with an anticipated fall 2026 opening. The record states no exterior building changes are proposed; staff said exterior seating could be approved administratively.
Commissioner Tim Callahan moved to approve the petition for a conditional use permit for Toastique; Commissioner Nancy Staley seconded. A roll call vote recorded ayes from Chair Anna Ahrens, Mary McGrath, Kurt Leinauer, Tim Callahan, Nancy Staley and Amanda Willbrand. Mayor Mark Becker and Aldermanic Representative Jim Kleinschmidt were recorded as abstaining. The motion carried.
The transcript does not record public comment or additional conditions beyond administrative review for exterior seating. The next steps are standard administrative permitting and inspections before opening.
