July 18, 2016 // Franchising.com // Merritt Island, FL - Jersey Mike’s Subs, known for its fresh sliced/fresh grilled subs, opened in Merritt Island on July 13. Franchise owner Bryan Price, along with operating partners Tyler Freese and Kara Blue, and marketing director Nadine Smith held a grand opening and free sub fundraiser from Wednesday, July 13 to Sunday, July 24 to support Veterans Memorial Center, Inc.

The new restaurant, located at 700 E. Merritt Island Causeway, circulated 7,000 coupons throughout the community offering a free regular sub for a minimum $2 donation to Veterans Memorial Center, Inc.

“Continuing to develop the Jersey Mike’s brand within the Merritt Island community has been a goal of mine since I opened my first store back in 2010. It’s taken a little longer than I initially thought, but the vision of being able to enter a new market and continue the Jersey Mike's tradition is finally coming to life,” said Price.

“With each new store we are able to partner with a local organization and we are thrilled to partner with The Veterans Memorial Center located in Merritt Island. The center was chartered in 1991 and today includes a museum, media center, and a large outdoor space which displays a Vietnam era Huey helicopter. Inside there is also a Disabled American Veterans Office which provides free professional assistance to Veterans and their families. Through this grand opening fundraiser, we will be raising money for the center which is in the process of building a new museum, retrofitting the existing building and providing additional jobs for veterans. It's an honor and a privilege to work with them during our grand opening,” he said.

Price is an exemplary Jersey Mike’s franchise owner who shares the company’s commitment to quality products and exceptional customer service, and who is dedicated to giving back to the local community.

Since 2010, Jersey Mike’s locations throughout the country have raised nearly $18 million for worthy local charities and have distributed more than 1.5 million free sub sandwiches to help numerous causes. This year, the company’s 6th Annual Jersey Mike’s Month of Giving in March raised more than $4 million for 180 charities throughout the country.
