GRAND ISLAND – Jersey Mike’s is opening in Grand Island on Jan. 28 at 1482 Conestoga Drive.
Jay and Kristen Kurtzer of Lincoln are the franchise owners. Jay Kurtzer said Jan. 8 that they own three Jersey Mike’s in Lincoln.
The Grand Island location will have approximately 30 employees.
“We’re excited to be part of the community,” Kurtzer said.
Jersey Mike’s will be conducting a fund-raiser for Team Jack Foundation during the first five days that the restaurant is open. Jersey Mike’s will hand out coupons to local businesses. People who receive the coupons bring them to Jersey Mike’s and can purchase a sub for $3. That money will be donated to Team Jack Foundation, Kurtzer said.
“Jersey Mike’s premium meats and cheeses are sliced on the spot and piled high on in-store baked bread. Jersey Mike’s fans crave their subs made Mike’s Way® with the freshest vegetables – onions, lettuce and tomatoes – topped off with an exquisite zing of “the juice,” red wine vinegar and an olive oil blend. Authentic cheesesteaks are grilled fresh,” Kurtzer said.
Jersey Mike’s is looking for individuals interested in career opportunities with extraordinary growth potential to join their team. Candidates who are passionate about customer service and connecting with their local community are invited to apply at jerseymikes.com/careers.
The restaurant’s hours are 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., seven days a week.
Jersey Mike’s believes that making a sub sandwich and making a difference can be one and the same. Since 2010, Jersey Mike’s locations have raised more than $175 million for local charities. In 2025, the company’s 15th Annual Jersey Mike’s Month of Giving in March raised $30 million for more than 200 local charities, Kurtzer said.
Jersey Mike’s Subs, with more than 4,000 locations open and in development, serves authentic fresh sliced/fresh grilled subs on in-store freshly baked bread — the same recipe it started with in 1956. Passion for giving in Jersey Mike’s local communities is reflected in its mission statement “Giving…making a difference in someone’s life.” For more information, please visit jerseymikes.com or follow us on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and X.
