Jersey Mike’s Subs will open its new location on Wednesday, Jan. 29, the company said in a news release. The restaurant will be at 35 Talcottville Road in the Tri-City Plaza shopping center.

Vernon native Cody Martins said he's "beyond excited" to own and operate the shop.

"I started at Jersey Mike's ten years ago as a crew member and, with the incredible support of our CEO Peter Cancro, I have worked my way up to opening my own business," said Martins. "I look forward to not only serving delicious food but also giving back and making a positive impact in the area."

One way Martins will do that is through a fundraiser for Rockville High School. Through Sunday, Feb. 2, customers with special coupons can get a regular sub if they donate at least $3 to the school.

The Vernon restaurant will be the 43rd Jersey Mike's in Connecticut, with the chain opening locations recently in towns like Colchester. The company is also planning to open shops in Avon, Killingly, and West Hartford.

There are more than 3,000 restaurants nationwide and Jersey Mike's is planning to increase its rapid expansion. The company has agreed to sell a majority stake to private equity giant Blackstone in a deal that could be approved in early 2025.

The Vernon restaurant will be open daily from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.
