First Jersey Mike's eatery in Tucson opens Wednesday

Jersey Mike's Subs, the nearly 60-year-old New Jersey born sub sandwich shop, is opening its first Tucson restaurant Wednesday.

Jersey Mike's Subs will open at 10 a.m. Wednesday in the former Ike's Coffee and Tea, 3400 E. Speedway. It will be open daily from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.

From Wednesday through Sunday, 10,000 lucky Tucson diners can get a sandwich for a $2 donation to Big Brothers and Big Sisters. But you have to have a coupon, which the restaurant has been distributing through neighboring businesses. A manager said they may have a few stray coupons at the restaurant today, but only folks with a coupon can get the $2 deal.

Jersey Mike's is known for its fresh subs and by fresh we mean everything is made to order and in house — from the bread to the fresh-sliced meats, veggies and cheeses.

The Tucson franchise is owned by siblings Bob and Rosey Gregory.
