Something must be in the air in London- some kind of scent attracting globally famous food spots to open up in our city. Everything from a cult Italian sandwich vendor to a famed Australian frozen yoghurt spot has opened up on our streets. We’re not about to argue with it, though, because we’re loving the chance to try out international hot spots without the airfare. And now, perhaps the biggest opening yet is set to land in the city. US sandwich giant, Jersey Mike’s, is about to open up shop in London.
The world-famous sub slingers will open their first-ever UK restaurant on Argyll Street in London’s West End in just a matter of days! The new sandwich spot will open next week, on November 9, and they’re throwing a big ol’ giveaway to celebrate – with plenty of FREE subs.
If you somehow haven’t heard of Jersey Mike’s just yet, you’re sure to become well acquainted with them soon. In the United States and Canada, the fast food brand counts a whopping 3,400+ stores to its name. And the new location is just the first in a string of UK openings for the sandwich slingers.
Jersey Mike’s arrives in London
After more than 70 years developing a beloved reputation in America, Jersey Mike’s is coming to London. In doing so, they’re providing a taste of the States’ iconic sub culture – satisfying homesick Americans and curious Londoners alike.
Jersey Mike’s also has plans to open three more central London restaurants shortly afterwards. In no time at all, there could be as many as four spots in London to get your Jersey Mike’s fix.
And that’s just the beginning. There are plans for as many as 400 restaurants in the UK and Ireland in the coming years!
Free sandwiches
To celebrate the opening of their first-ever London location, Jersey Mike’s is giving away a whole load of free subs.
On opening day, the first three people in the queue will win free subs for a year! And the first 50 customers through the doors will receive a free regular sub. Simply by turning up to a new opening, you can nab yourself a free lunch – a year’s worth of free lunches!
What’s the fuss?
So, why are fans so excited to see the store open up in London? Care goes into each order to ensure the sandwiches are “A Sub Above”. Sandwiches are made on the spot, and meats and cheeses are sliced fresh to order. Other ingredients are prepared fresh, and the bread is baked throughout the day. That way you can be sure you’re never getting a stale sub.
And then there’s ‘the juice’. Jersey Mike’s has become famous for finishing off its sandwich creations with a mix of red wine vinegar and oil. This has even led to the iconic ‘Mike’s Way’ order. Guests can choose their toppings and have it ‘Mike’s Way’, with onions, lettuce and tomatoes, finished with an oil blend, red wine vinegar and spices. The order is synonymous with the brand and a go-to for die-hard fans.
So, what do you say? Are you ready to try a Jersey Mike’s sub with ‘the juice’?
