Jersey Mike's Subs has hired Brooke Cabrera, a former VP and market director of real estate at JPMorgan Chase & Co, as director of real estate, Northeast.

For the past five years, Cabrera oversaw JPMorgan's retail branch expansion in New England, opening branches in seven states. Her responsibilities entailed high-level market strategy, site identification, lease negotiation and coordinated partnership with her construction counterparts. Prior to JPMorgan, Cabrera was a commercial real estate office leasing broker at Colliers International, where she represented both tenants and landlords predominately focused on the Manhattan market, according to a company press release.

"The Northeast is hungry for Jersey Mike's," Brian Sommers, chief development officer of Jersey Mike's Franchise Systems, said in the release. "Brooke will be a tremendous asset to our rapidly growing franchise as we continue executing our strategic growth plan in the Northeast, especially in New England. Her proven deal making track record will help us expand our reach, helping franchise owners secure best-in-class locations."

In September 2022, Jersey Mike's entered the last of the New England states, opening its first Vermont location in Williston. Jersey Mike's is now in 49 states across the country and expects to enter Alaska in 2023. It has 2,500 locations nationwide.
