Jersey Mike's Subs Raises Funds for Boys & Girls Club at Grand Opening

CONCORD, N.C. - Jersey Mike's Subs will open its second store in
Concord next week. This will be the first store for owners John and
Lisa Townsend. The Townsends know the importance of community
relations and will celebrate their new ties with the area when they
hold their grand opening on June 30.

To commemorate the event, the new restaurant, located at 6028 Bayfield
Parkway, is hosting a 5-day fundraiser from Wed., June 30 through
Sun., July 4, with proceeds supporting the Boys & Girls Club of
Cabarrus County. Anyone who has a fundraising coupon can get a free
regular size sub with a minimum $1 donation. More than 5,000 coupons
are being distributed throughout the community.

"When I read the mission statement of the Boys & Girls Club of
Cabarrus County, 'to enable all young people, especially those who
need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring,
responsible citizens,' I knew we had to get involved," said John
Townsend. "Helping to meet the development needs of the youth in our
community is tremendously important."

Reaching out to the community is a key component of Jersey Mike's
mission. All franchise owners find ways to support their neighbors
and employees are encouraged to volunteer their time and talents as
well. "When you are an active contributor in the community it shows,"
said Peter Cancro, Jersey Mike's founder and CEO. "John and Lisa are
committed to helping the children of the Boys & Girls Club of Cabarrus
County. We congratulate them on their first store."

"Our goal is to give each customer the very best experience when they
come through our doors," said Townsend. "Lisa and I are proud to join
the Jersey Mike's family and we are committed to serving the best subs
in the country to the best community in the state."

Store hours are 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily. You can contact this store
directly at (704) 792-0652.
