- The company plans to open 300 restaurants across the UK and Ireland under a master franchise agreement.
- The expansion is part of Jersey Mike's strategy to operate 15,000 stores globally.
Ah, London. A city so quintessentially British that it seems almost sacrilegious to introduce something as American as a Jersey Mike's sub. Yet, the Stateside sandwich phenomenon has arrived at 1-4 Argyll Street, London, just a hop, skip, and a jump from Oxford Circus. With a master franchise agreement in its back pocket to develop 300 stores across the UK and Ireland, Jersey Mike's is not merely dipping its toes but launching a full-scale amphibious assault into the international market.
Charlie Morrison, the chef du jour at Jersey Mike's, is keen to let the Brits in on what makes these subs so special. "For 70 years, we have been all about quality and community," Morrison remarked—words dripping with the promise of fresh ingredients and a dollop of American hospitality.
Meanwhile, the man with the plan, Peter Cancro, who is also moonlighting as the CEO of JM Submarines UK LTD, sees London's bustling restaurant scene as fertile ground for growth. Andy Skehan, who holds the international compass, sees untapped potential sprinkled across the island like poppy seeds on a hoagie bun.
Plans are laid, and blueprints are drawn for four London locations by year-end, promising to offer Brits their first taste of what A Sub Above really means. Like any good marketer, Skehan knows that entering markets with a flair for unique dining experiences can only buoy Jersey Mike's fortunes.
