TL;DR

Jersey Mike's Subs opened its first location in Fort Pierce, Florida, with franchise owner William Micco Jr. hosting a grand opening and fundraiser. The event supported the Fort Pierce Central High School Baseball Team and offered customers a chance to make a minimum $2 contribution in exchange for a regular sub.

Jersey Mike’s Subs, known for its fresh sliced/fresh grilled subs, opened in Sabal Palm Plaza at 2415 S US Highway 1 in Fort Pierce on February 26.

Franchise owner William Micco Jr. held a grand opening and fundraiser from Wednesday, February 26 to Sunday, March 1 to support Fort Pierce Central High School Baseball Team. Customers with a special fundraising coupon may make a minimum $2 contribution to the Fort Pierce Central High School baseball team in exchange for a regular sub.

“I’ve looked forward to this grand opening for a while now,” said Micco. “Having the opportunity to open a business in my hometown as well as host a fundraiser for my alma mater is a huge accomplishment for me. I hope that everyone takes advantage of the donation cards to support the Central High School baseball team and I’m ecstatic to bring Jersey Mike’s Subs to this great community.”

Micco is an exemplary Jersey Mike’s franchise owner who shares the company’s commitment to quality products and exceptional customer service, and who is 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.
