Jersey Mike's Subs is now open in 50 states, thanks to its Alaska debut.
"We now have more than 2,500 Jersey Mike's locations in all 50 states," Hoyt Jones, president, Jersey Mike's Franchise Systems Inc., said in a company press release. "From the beginning, we've believed in smart growth and our success is driven by franchise owners who are passionate about our brand and giving philosophy."
The store in Alaska, nicknamed "The Last Frontier," is at 1451 E Parks Highway in Wasilla, a city about 40 miles north of Anchorage in the Matanuska-Susitna Valley.
To celebrate, franchise owner Fred Rosenberg held a grand opening fundraiser to support the Special Olympics Alaska, Mat-Su Community.
"We are thrilled to bring A Sub Above to Alaska and open the 50th state for Jersey Mike's," Rosenberg said in the release. "At Jersey Mike's, our culture is to give back to the communities that we serve. We have partnered with Special Olympics Alaska, Mat-Su Community to raise funds for this very worthy organization. Our goal is to make a positive difference in the communities and neighborhoods that we serve. It is our responsibility as a brand to give for the sole purpose of giving, and not to receive."
Rosenberg plans to open two more locations in Alaska this year.
Jersey Mike's Subs has over 2,500 locations.
