Make A Wish: Jersey Mike's Subs opens in Kelowna

Jersey Mike’s Subs authentic fresh sliced/fresh grilled sub sandwiches opens to the public Wednesday, July 29 at their location at 1575 Banks Road.

The brand, which started in New Jersey back in 1956, chose Kelowna as their first B.C. store and have plans to open a total of 300 across Canada under the Redberry Restaurants franchise agreement.

To celebrate, Redberry will hold a grand opening and fundraiser from Wednesday, July 29 to Sunday, August 2, to support Make-A-Wish Canada.

Customers across the city will have received a special fundraising coupon that was distributed through a grassroots effort prior to the opening. They can make a minimum $3 contribution to Make-A-Wish Canada in exchange for a regular sub.

Customers without a coupon will have a limited-time opportunity to download the Jersey Mike’s app and earn a free regular sub after their first in-app sub purchase and will also be able to support Make-A-Wish Canada via a donation box near the register.  

In May, Jersey Mike’s pledged to raise $1 million by 2030 for Make-A-Wish Canada. Since 2024, the company has raised almost $300,000 for the organization.
