May 11, 2015 // Franchising.com // Las Vegas, NV - For the fourth year in a row, Jersey Mike’s Subs, one of the nation’s fastest growing restaurant chains, will serve up authentic fresh sliced subs at the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC) annual RECon conference, May 17-20, 2015, in Las Vegas.

At Booth S494Q (located in South Hall 4), Jersey Mike’s is recreating a restaurant complete with bantering sub makers – and most importantly, the slicer. The company plans to serve more than 20,000 pieces of subs, with premium meats and cheese sliced right at the booth, topped “Mike’s Way®,” with the freshest vegetables – onions, lettuce and tomatoes – and an exquisite zing of “the juice.” The company’s expert sub makers will be busy sprinkling 2,400 rows of red wine vinegar and 3,600 rows of olive oil on fresh subs during the three days of the conference.

“At Jersey Mike’s, we offer a sub above, carefully considering every aspect of what we do – every slice, every sandwich, every site, and every store,” said Mike Parkhill, Senior Vice President, Director of Real Estate, Jersey Mike’s. “One bite of a Jersey Mike’s sub sandwich and attendees will see why we win devoted fans from coast to coast.”

Named one of the country’s fastest growing restaurants by Technomic, Jersey Mike’s opened 155 new locations in 2014, with unit growth of 20 percent. In 2014 the company reported a system-wide sales increase of 30 percent, to $525 million.

This year, the company, poised to enter its 40th market in Montana, expects to open 175 locations across the country.

CEO Peter Cancro started the company at age 17, before he was even legally able to slice a sub. The company remains committed to making a difference in the communities it serves. Since 2010, locations throughout the country have raised nearly $13 million for local charities and distributed more than 1,000,000 free sub sandwiches to help numerous causes. This past March, Jersey Mike’s 5th Annual “Month of Giving” raised more than $3 million for 150 local charities.
