REDBERRY OPENS FIRST OF 300 JERSEY MIKE’S LOCATIONS IN CANADA

Markham Opening Benefits Make-A-Wish^® Canada

MARKHAM, Ont., Aug. 21, 2024 – The Greater Toronto Area (GTA) is getting its first taste of authentic fresh sliced/fresh grilled sub sandwiches when Jersey Mike’s Subs opens at 8600 Woodbine Avenue in Markham on Wednesday, August 28. This is the first of 300 Jersey Mike’s restaurants Redberry Restaurants (“Redberry”) is bringing to Canada over the next 10 years and marks the first major international expansion for Jersey Mike’s in its 68-year history.

To celebrate, Redberry will hold a grand opening and fundraiser from Wednesday, August 28 to Sunday, September 1, to support Make-A-Wish Canada. Customers who receive a special fundraising coupon distributed through a grassroots effort prior to the opening can make a minimum $3 contribution to Make-A-Wish Canada 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 Make-A-Wish Canada via a donation box near the register.

“We are excited to bring A Sub Above to the Greater Toronto Area,” said Ken Otto, CEO, Redberry. “This is Redberry’s first new Jersey Mike’s location to open in Canada and we can’t wait to share this iconic brand with our new neighbors.”

Markham is the first of six new Jersey Mike’s locations planned for Ontario in 2024, forming the foundation for rapid new store growth. By the end of the year, Redberry will open additional GTA locations including York Mills and Union Station as well as three others in Brantford, Guelph and Pickering. These six locations will employ nearly 100 crew members. Redberry also owns the two existing and recently remodeled Jersey Mike’s locations in Kitchener and London.

Making a Difference

Jersey Mike’s has had an on-going partnership with Make-A-Wish Canada. In March 2024, the Kitchener and London locations raised $12,000 during Jersey Mike’s Month of Giving to benefit this local charity partner.

In 2023, nearly 500 wishes were granted in Ontario. Still, more than 1,260 children, including 15 children in Markham, are currently waiting for their wishes to be granted.

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 9 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. We welcome catering orders too.
