Hillcrest residents welcomed Jersey Mike\u2019s Subs to the culinary neighborhood, with a grand opening of the sandwich shop on Wednesday, June 20. The location, at 3975 Fifth Ave., is between Washington and University streets, a current hot spot for new franchise restaurants.<\/p>\n

Franchise owners Brad and Sharon Remy and Jacque and Christine Moutier held a opening party in the evening before the grand opening, attended by friends and family. This is their first Jersey Mike\u2019s franchise.<\/p>\n

With the spirit of community in mind, the couples said they decided to circulate coupons throughout the community for the opening, offering a free sub sandwich for a minimum $1 contribution to University of California, San Diego (UCSD) Health System\u2019s women and infants services program. The offer is good from opening day through Sunday, June 24, with a coupon.<\/p>\n

Jay McCarthy, Jersey Mike\u2019s regional director of marketing, attended the opening, and praised the Remys and Moutiers for their focus on community. \u201cWe have a huge culture of giving back to community and community involvement,\u201d he said. \u201cEveryone\u2019s really close-knit here, and that\u2019s the way we try to run business.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brad Remy said they partnered with the UCSD women and infants services program as an opportunity to give back. \u201cWe went over and did a tour [and] saw the great things they were doing,\u201d he said. \u201cThey\u2019re in need of some chairs and some equipment \u2026 and we\u2019re going to contribute all [monies from] our fundraiser from the next five days into UCSD.\u201d<\/p>\n

The idea to partner with UCSD originally came from the Moutiers, Remy said, whose family used the facility\u2019s neonatal services several years ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a personal connection there,\u201d Brad Remy said. \u201cIt\u2019s just fabulous how many great things are happening.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jacque Moutier, who said they have hired 21 people to staff the restaurant, said their charity efforts would extend beyond UCSD in the future.<\/p>\n

\u201cUsually, we look for charities that our employees are already involved in, so it is something that\u2019s near and dear to their hearts,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Lisa Weir, marketing and communications director for the Hillcrest Business Association (HBA), said the owners bring a \u201cconnected and welcoming energy\u201d to the business district. \u201cIt is energy from businesses like theirs that makes Hillcrest fabulous,\u201d she said. \u201cWith many new businesses opening along the 3900 block of Fifth Avenue, we\u2019re witnessing what successful businesses working in synergy looks like.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Remy and Moutier\u2019s franchise is one of over 750 Jersey Mike\u2019s Sub stores nation-wide. Opened as a single location in Point Pleasant, N.J. in 1956, current CEO Peter Cancro launched the franchise in 1987, 15 years after he purchased the New Jersey store from the original owner.<\/p>\n

Known for their \u201cfresh sliced\/fresh grilled East coast-style subs,\u201d the sandwiches are made with a signature blend of olive oil, red wine vinegar and spices. Ingredients include private-label meats and cheeses on bread baked in the store.<\/p>\n

Calling opening day \u201cawesome,\u201d with lines out the door for lunch service, Brad Remy said they had handed out over 400 sub sandwiches by 2 p.m. Store hours are currently from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., seven days a week.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
