## Story

Cousins Subs is coming to Chicago. The growing sandwich franchise is gearing up for the first of a planned 40 locations in the Windy City and recently Eater Chicago wrote about the overall plans for the popular Wisconsin-based chain.

“There is a kind of community in the Midwest where there’s some shared beliefs and shared values,” Christine Specht, President and CEO of Cousins Subs , told Eater Chicago.

Brian Jaeger is a Vice President of Media Relations at No Limit Agency. Brian joined No Limit Agency after seven years working for local television news stations in Florida, four years at WCJB in Gainesville and three years at Bay News 9, the 24-hour local news station in the Tampa Bay area. Brian is a graduate of the University of Florida, where he studied journalism and telecommunications.

He brings a journalist’s viewpoint to the public relations field, and when he’s not busy telling the stories of No Limit Agency's brands, you can find him writing, on a karaoke stage, or cheering on the Gators.
