What started as one sub shop at the Jersey Shore in 1956 has become a household name in the U.S. with international development in the works.
In January 2024, Redberry Restaurants was named Area Director for Canada with a development agreement to open 300 Jersey Mike’s restaurants across the country in 10 years. In addition to owning two existing and recently remodeled Jersey Mike’s locations in Kitchener and London, Redberry has already opened three new Ontario locations including Markham (August), North York (October) and Brantford (December).
Jersey Mike’s is best known for its giving culture, believing that making a sub sandwich and making a difference can be one and the same. Since just September, through its national fundraising initiatives, Jersey Mike’s has raised more than $12 million for four charities: Breast Cancer Research Foundation (September), Feeding America’s Hurricane Helene Disaster Relief Fund (October), Best Buddies International (November) and Wreaths Across America (December).
Jersey Mike’s Subs, with more than 4,000 locations open and in development, serves authentic fresh sliced/fresh grilled subs on in-store freshly baked bread — the same recipe it started with in 1956. Passion for giving in Jersey Mike’s local communities is reflected in its mission statement “Giving…making a difference in someone’s life.” For more information, please visit JerseyMikes.com or follow us on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and X.
