Grand Opening Includes 5-Day Fundraiser For Child Hunger Brantford
BRANTFORD, Ont., Dec. 4, 2024 – Redberry Restaurants (“Redberry”) will open the latest Ontario Jersey Mike’s Subs at 300 King George Road in Brantford on Wednesday, Dec. 11, giving more Canadian sub lovers the chance to enjoy the authentic fresh sliced/fresh grilled sub sandwiches offered by the iconic brand.
Redberry opened the first of 300 Jersey Mike’s restaurants it is bringing to Canada in Markham, ON, in August and another in North York, ON, in October.
To celebrate the new Brantford location, Redberry will hold a grand opening and fundraiser from Wednesday, Dec. 11 to Sunday, Dec. 15, to support Child Hunger Brantford. Customers who receive a special fundraising coupon distributed through a grassroots effort prior to the opening can make a minimum $3 contribution to Child Hunger Brantford in exchange for a regular sub. Customers must have a coupon to be eligible.
Customers without a coupon will have a limited-time opportunity to download the Jersey Mike’s app and earn a free regular sub after their first in-app sub purchase and will also be able to support Child Hunger Brantford via a donation box near the register. The first 100 guests at the grand opening will receive a Jersey Mike’s Drawstring Sports Pack.
“We have been thrilled by the enthusiastic welcome Jersey Mike’s has received in Ontario with our first openings in Markham and North York,” said Ken Otto, CEO, Redberry. “We can’t wait to meet our new neighbors in Brantford and introduce them to Jersey Mike’s authentic fresh sliced / fresh grilled sub sandwiches.”
The three new locations are the first of six initial Jersey Mike’s restaurants in development in Ontario, forming the foundation for rapid new store growth. Redberry will open additional locations in Guelph, Pickering and in Toronto’s Union Station in January. These six locations will employ nearly 100 crew members. Redberry also owns two existing and recently remodeled Jersey Mike’s locations in Kitchener and London.
Making a Difference
Jersey Mike’s believes that making a sub sandwich and making a difference can be one and the same. This year, in Canada, between the company’s annual Month of Giving in March and the Markham and North York opening fundraisers, Jersey Mike’s has raised nearly $19,000 to help Make-A-Wish Canada. With the Brantford opening, the Jersey Mike’s team looks forward to raising a lot of dough for Child Hunger Brantford, another dedicated local organization.
Fresh Sliced/Fresh Grilled
Jersey Mike’s premium meats and cheeses are sliced on the spot and piled high on the in-store baked bread. Jersey Mike’s fans crave their subs made Mike’s Way® with the freshest vegetables – onions, lettuce and tomatoes – along with an exquisite zing of “the juice,” red wine vinegar and an olive oil blend, topped off with our signature spices. Authentic cheesesteaks are also grilled fresh to order.
The restaurant’s hours are 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., seven days a week. You can place orders in-store, on the Jersey Mike's app, online at www.jerseymikes.ca, and on the national delivery apps. Catering orders are also welcome.
