relies on with a spectacular new state-of-the-art facility. The
hospital is designed to care for the physical and emotional needs of
children and their families.
Started at the Jersey Shore in 1956, Jersey Mike's continued its
steady growth in 2011 opening 69 new restaurants throughout the
country, a 15 percent increase overall. The popular sub shop wins
best sub awards in virtually every market it enters.
Nick Smith and Rodger Blake-Ward exemplify Jersey Mike's quest for
excellence as it selects 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. In 2011,
locations throughout the country raised more than $2 million for
worthy local charities and distributed more than 200,000 free sub
sandwiches to help numerous causes.
"We wanted to support a charity that was close to home, and with the
Levine Children's Hospital being right around the corner we definitely
accomplished that," said Blake-Ward. "As business owners, we have a
great opportunity to make a difference in our community. We are
looking forward to our grand opening fundraiser and the chance to
continue giving back with Jersey Mike's."

vinegar and spices. The company uses only private labeled meats and
cheeses that are sliced fresh for each sub sandwich and piled high on
in-store baked bread. Everything is quickly made to order for each
customer, just the way the first subs were made at the original Jersey
Mike's more than fifty years ago. The Jersey Mike's experience always
includes its trademark neighborly banter served up by a high-energy
Jersey Mike's team.
