Jersey Mike’s Subs has just opened at Mohegan Sun’s Casino in Uncasville in Connecticut. It is the third Jersey Mike’s location in Connecticut opened by Mohegan Restaurant (JM Subs) LLC, a business diversification entity of Mohegan Holding Company LLC of the Mohegan Tribe. In February 2015, Jersey Mike’s awarded ten restaurants in New England to Mohegan Restaurant and, in April, the company awarded two additional locations. The awarded territory covers Connecticut, Rhode Island and the southern section of Worcester County in Massachusetts. The first of the Tribe’s Jersey Mike’s locations opened in Meriden, Connecticut in August, followed by another in Norwich in October. Also in October, Jersey Mike’s opened its 1000th location. In 2016 the company will celebrate its 60th anniversary and the chain is showing no signs of slowing down. Brian Sommers, Vice President, Franchise Development, reported that in 2016, the company will be opening several new markets along the East Coast including Albany and Long Island in New York, Boston and Philadelphia. “We will continue our steady growth throughout the country,” he added. “On the East Coast, we will continue our expansion in legacy markets like New Jersey, Ohio, North Carolina, and Georgia, adding more than 20 locations. Markets like Maryland, Florida, and Virginia will also continue to produce new restaurants, adding 20 new locations as well. We continue our momentum in the non-traditional arena, coming off a year when we opened Atlanta-Hartsfield Airport, Mohegan Sun Casino, Rowan University, Kean University, and Monmouth University. We plan to open Orlando Airport, and James Madison University in Virginia.” During 2015, Jersey Mike’s will have opened about 200 locations with many being in the West Coast region. The chain anticipates a similar number of openings in 2016 and expects to reach 1500 locations by 2018. The fast casual sub sandwich franchise that was launched at the Jersey Shore in 1956 continues to feature its authentic fresh sliced subs on freshly baked bread. The standard locations are in the 1200 to 1500 square foot range.
