Jersey Mike’s Subs Celebrates New Leesburg Location with
Ribbon Cutting on Tuesday, July 13, 2010
Leesburg, VA (July 9, 2010) - At 5:00 pm on Tuesday, July 13, 2010, Town of Leesburg officials
will hold a ribbon cutting for Jersey Mike’s Subs, located at 522 Fort Evans Road in the Fort
Evans Plaza II Shopping Center.
To commemorate their grand opening, Jersey Mike’s is hosting a 5-day fundraiser
from Wednesday, July 14 through Sunday, July 18, 2010, with proceeds benefiting
the Leesburg Volunteer Fire Department. With a fundraising coupon, a customer can get a
free regular size sub with a minimum $1 donation. More than 10,000 coupons are being
distributed throughout the community.
Reaching out to the community is a key component of Jersey Mike’s mission. All franchise
owners find ways to support their neighbors and employees are encouraged to volunteer their
time and talents as well. “When you are an active contributor in the community it shows,” said
Peter Cancro, Jersey Mike’s founder and CEO. “Greg and his team are committed to helping
the Leesburg community. We congratulate them on their first store.”
“With this fundraiser, we want to support the men and women who volunteer, and potentially
risk their lives, to keep our community safe. Helping those who unselfishly protect
our community is the least we can do,” said Leesburg store co-owner Greg Switaj. “We look
forward to building meaningful relationships with our new neighbors and invite everyone to
come in, and join us in supporting the Leesburg Volunteer Fire Department.”
Greg Switaj was initially attracted to Jersey Mike’s because of the inviting nature of the
business model, which has a heavy emphasis on the customer experience and partnering with
the community -- not to mention the quality of the product. “Leesburg is an incredible
community with lots of great businesses. I am looking forward to bringing the number one sub
sandwich concept to the area,” said Switaj.
