Jersey Mike's Continues Rapid Expansion in West Michigan
GRAND RAPIDS — Jersey Mike's Subs added two new locations to the Grand Rapids area on March 23, continuing the sub sandwich chain's rapid expansion across West Michigan.
The popular restaurant chain, known for its fresh-sliced meats and signature "Mike's Way" seasoning, recently opened a new shop at 6260 28th Street SE in Cascade, taking over a former Subway space near Thornapple Brewing Company.
To celebrate the opening, the new location is offering a promotional deal through March 31: customers can use code RAPIDS05 to receive free chips and a drink with the purchase of any sub.
A second new Jersey Mike's opened earlier this month at 6670 Kalamazoo Avenue SE in Grand Rapids, bringing the total number of Jersey Mike's locations in the area to four.
More locations are planned for the region. According to Jersey Mike's official website, a restaurant at 5135 Lake Michigan Dr. in Allendale is scheduled to open soon.
Jersey Mike's Growth in Michigan
Jersey Mike's has become a familiar sight throughout West Michigan, with over 70 locations across the state. The chain's national presence includes more than 3,000 restaurants nationwide.
The brand's history dates back to 1956, when it first opened as Mike's Subs in Point Pleasant, New Jersey. The business saw a major transformation in 1975 when a 17-year-old employee named Peter Cancro purchased the company with the help of his high school football coach.
Cancro grew the business into the nationwide chain we know today, eventually rebranding it as Jersey Mike's and maintaining its classic East Coast sub shop aesthetic.
The chain is known for slicing meats and cheeses fresh to order, piling them onto bread that's baked daily, and serving everything from cold subs to hot grilled cheesesteaks.
