## Story

LEWIS CENTER, Ohio - Jersey Mike’s Subs, known for its fresh sliced/fresh grilled subs, opened in Lewis Center on November 6. Franchise owners Joseph and Jennifer Brake held a grand opening and free sub fundraiser from Wednesday, November 6 to Sunday, November 10 to support Olentangy High School.

The new restaurant, located at 6464 Pullman Drive, is circulating 7,500 coupons throughout the community offering a free regular sub for a minimum $2 contribution to Olentangy High School. Customers must have a coupon to be eligible.

“Jersey Mike's Subs is a sub above the rest,” said Jen Brake. “Our mission is to provide the community of Lewis Center with great subs and a great experience. Come and see us for our grand opening and help raise funds for Olentangy High School!”

The Brakes are exemplary Jersey Mike’s franchise owners who share the company’s commitment to quality products and exceptional customer service, and who are dedicated to giving back to the local community. Since 2010, Jersey Mike’s locations throughout the country have raised more than $41 million for worthy local charities and have distributed more than 2 million free sub sandwiches to help numerous causes. In 2019, the company’s 9th Annual Jersey Mike’s Month of Giving in March raised more than $7.3 million for more than 200 charities throughout the country.

Started in 1956, Jersey Mike’s now has 2,000 restaurants open and under development nationwide. Jersey Mike’s was named the country’s Fastest-growing Sandwich Chain in the 2019 Nation’s Restaurant News Top 200, and #1 Most Admired Fast-casual Brand in QSR’s 2019 Reader’s Choice Awards.

The growth is fueled by passionate Jersey Mike’s fans who crave their subs made Mike’s Way® with the freshest vegetables – onions, lettuce and tomatoes – topped off with an exquisite zing of “the juice” – red wine vinegar and olive oil blended to perfection. Jersey Mike’s premium meats and cheeses are sliced on the spot, piled high on in-store baked bread and served up with a helping of neighborly banter from a dedicated and high-energy team. Jersey Mike’s turkey breast, ham, prosciuttini, and cappacuolo are all antibiotic free. Udi’s gluten free bread is also now available.
