The fastest growing sandwich chain in the country, Jersey Mike’s Subs, has been opened in Billings by franchise owner, John Vagner.

The new restaurant, located at 1020 Shiloh Crossing Boulevard Suite 2, held its grand opening on Sept. 11, using the event to generate contributions to Tumbleweed, an organization that provides safety and assistance to homeless youth.

Started in 1956, Jersey Mike’s now has 2,000 restaurants open and under development nationwide.

The growth is fueled by Jersey Mike’s fans who crave their subs made Mike’s Way with the fresh vegetables – onions, lettuce and tomatoes – topped with a zing of “the juice” – red wine vinegar and olive oil blended.  Jersey Mike’s meats and cheeses are sliced on the spot, piled high on in-store baked bread. 

The restaurant’s hours are 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., seven days a week.
