Jersey Mike’s Subs has signed a development agreement with Paradigm Investment Group to open ten units in parts of Westchester County in New York and Fairfield County in Connecticut. Additionally, acting as Area Directors, the Paradigm team will oversee growth throughout the entire state of Connecticut, Western Massachusetts and a portion of Southern NY state. The new partnership is part of Jersey Mike’s active East Coast expansion plan. Based in San Diego, Paradigm is the second largest franchisee in the Hardee’s Food System with nearly 100 Hardee’s restaurants in Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Tennessee and Louisiana. “Paradigm’s Brian Kelley and Don Wollan are the type of franchise partners we are looking for: experienced multi-unit operators who share our passion for excellence in all things,” said Hoyt Jones, President of Jersey Mike’s Subs adding that their operational expertise will allow the chain to scale up growth in the region. Restaurant industry veterans Brian O’Hagan and Troy Davidson will serve as Area Directors for the region. O’Hagan is a past executive with Procter & Gamble and PepsiCo and has been a consultant for other popular restaurant brands. Davidson has extensive experience in all aspects of the restaurant industry through work with McDonald’s Corp. and as a franchisee of Bennigan’s Grill & Tavern. Jersey Mike’s is pursuing strong development efforts on the East Coast. The company opened its first Manhattan location in July and a second is scheduled to open in Midtown in September. In addition to New York and Connecticut, other East Coast development is underway in New Jersey, Eastern Pennsylvania and Delaware. The quick casual sub sandwich franchise has more than 750 locations open and under development nationwide serving the authentic taste of the Jersey Shore, fresh sliced subs on fresh baked bread. The units operate in 1200 to 1800 square foot units in plaza end caps or freestanding sites. Trade areas of 45,000 or more are targeted. Paradigm expects to open its first Jersey Mike’s in Wilton, Connecticut late this year.
