Redberry Restaurants will open the third downtown Toronto Jersey Mike’s Subs at 160 Bloor St. E., on Wednesday June 17.
The Bloor Street Jersey Mike’s joins locations in Union Station and at 425 University Ave., which opened in May. A fourth downtown Toronto location is slated to open later this summer. This will be the 28th Jersey Mike’s Redberry has opened in Canada, on its way to a planned 300 Canadian locations by 2035, said the company.
“We are committed to building our presence in downtown Toronto and with this location we are excited to introduce ourselves to this important commercial district,” said Ken Otto, CEO, Redberry. “We are also committed to our on-going partnership with Make-A-Wish Canada and through our five-day grand opening fundraiser we are raising funds to grant more wishes to local children.”
To celebrate the new location, Redberry said it will hold a grand opening and fundraiser from Wednesday June 17 to Sunday June 21, to support Make-A-Wish Canada. Customers who receive a special fundraising coupon distributed through a grassroots effort prior to the opening can make a minimum $3 contribution to Make-A-Wish Canada in exchange for a regular sub. Customers must have a coupon to be eligible.
Customers without a coupon will have a limited-time opportunity to download the Jersey Mike’s app and earn a free regular sub after their first in-app sub purchase and will also be able to support Make-A-Wish Canada via a donation box near the register, it said.
In May, Jersey Mike’s pledged to raise $1 million by 2030 for Make-A-Wish Canada. Since 2024, the company has raised nearly $270,000 to help grant life-changing wishes to children with critical illnesses.
