Jersey Mike’s Continues Expansion in Little Rock with New Location on Chenal Parkway

Posted on 10/22/24

Jersey Mike's

We’re excited to announce the recent opening of a new Jersey Mike’s Subs location at 12319 Chenal Pkwy, Suite B, Little Rock, AR 72211, further expanding this beloved sandwich brand in the Little Rock area. The new store marks another milestone for the local franchise owner, who, along with his wife, moved to Arkansas from Chicago four years ago to pursue their dream of owning a lake house and becoming a part of the Arkansas community. Now based in Cabot, they’ve opened eight Jersey Mike’s locations, with plans for four more in the near future.

Jersey Mike’s stands out for its commitment to freshness. As the franchise owner explains, “Bread is baked fresh daily, lettuce, tomatoes, and onions are prepared fresh, and all cold subs are sliced in front of the customer. Hot subs are grilled fresh and made to order—all done with great store teams.” Jersey Mike’s also shines through its community involvement, with grand openings always supporting local charities and an annual “Day of Giving” on the last Wednesday of each March, where 100% of sales are donated to a chosen cause. Last year, over $125,000 was raised for Arkansas Children’s Foundation!

When it comes to subs, the most popular cold sub is the Number 13 (The Italian), while the Number 17 (Mike’s Famous Philly) leads the way for hot subs.

Working with Kelley Commercial Partners and Brooke Miller has been a vital part of their success. “Brooke has almost single-handedly laid the market, found great sites, and helped get landlords on board with great deals. This growth does not happen without her.”

We’re proud to have played a role in bringing Jersey Mike’s to more locations in Arkansas and look forward to seeing the continued success of this outstanding franchise.
