A sandwich chain with over 2,800 restaurants across the United States recently opened its fourth location in Ocala.
Located at 2647 NE 35th Street, Jersey Mike’s Subs celebrated its grand opening on September 18.
The restaurant, which is open daily from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., features multiple hot and cold subs on its menu, including a variety of cheese steaks.
When ordering a cold sub, customers can choose to have their sandwich made “Mike’s Way” with onions, lettuce, tomatoes, spices, red wine vinegar, and an olive oil blend.
Ocala-News.com first reported the new Jersey Mike’s location in July.
State records show that the new franchise is registered to Munchies on 34th, LLC, a company that is owned by Jerry Lewicki and Bryce A. Ramirez-Lewicki. In addition, Lewicki is the Chief Financial Officer of CordaRoy’s, a Gainesville-based furniture store, and Ramirez-Lewicki is recently graduated from Florida International University.
Together, the owners spent several months transforming the vacant space at the Pearl Britain Plaza.
Earlier this year, the third Jersey Mike’s opened in Ocala at 2785 NW 49th Avenue. That store is located within the Shops at Foxwood.
The two Jersey Mike’s restaurants in the city’s northern half join two others in southwest Ocala located at 2602 SW 19th Avenue Road and 8075 SW State Road 200.
As of October 3, 2024, there are currently 2,828 Jersey Mike’s locations in operation across the United States, with another 297 locations in various stages of development. In Florida, the company has at least 16 locations that are currently under development.
Since the third Ocala store opened in late March, an additional 67 Jersey Mike’s locations have opened across the country.
