Redberry Restaurants is opening a new Jersey Mike’s Subs location in Burlington, Ont., next week, adding to its growing Canadian footprint as the company works toward a long-term expansion plan of 300 locations nationwide by 2035.
The restaurant, located at 3121 Appleby Line, is scheduled to open July 8. The opening will be accompanied by a five-day fundraiser in support of Make-A-Wish Canada, part of Jersey Mike’s previously announced commitment to raise $1 million for the charity by 2030.
The Burlington restaurant becomes part of a network of more than 30 Jersey Mike’s locations now operating in Canada under Redberry Restaurants, one of the country’s largest quick-service restaurant franchisees.
The grand opening fundraiser will run from July 8 through July 12. Customers who receive a fundraising coupon distributed before the opening can make a minimum $3 donation to Make-A-Wish Canada in exchange for a regular sub. The offer is available only with a coupon.
Customers without a coupon can download the Jersey Mike’s mobile app during the promotion to receive a free regular sub after making their first in-app purchase. They will also have the option of making donations to Make-A-Wish Canada through a donation box inside the restaurant.
“We are excited to join this vibrant waterfront community and introduce Jersey Mike’s fresh sliced/fresh grilled sub sandwiches to our new neighbors in Burlington,” said Ken Otto, CEO, Redberry. “We urge everyone to come out to our grand opening fundraiser and support our longtime partner Make-A-Wish Canada in its mission to restore hope for children with critical illnesses by helping them realize their most heartfelt wish.”
In May, Jersey Mike’s announced a pledge to raise $1 million for Make-A-Wish Canada by 2030. According to the company, more than $270,000 has been raised since 2024 to help fund wishes for children with critical illnesses.
The Burlington restaurant will be open daily from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Customers will be able to order in person, through the Jersey Mike’s mobile app, online and through national delivery platforms. Catering services will also be available.
Redberry also said it will open a Jersey Mike’s at 5001 19th Street in Red Deer on Wednesday, July 8.
Founded in 2005, Redberry Restaurants owns and operates more than 200 quick-service restaurants across Canada under the Burger King, Taco Bell and Jersey Mike’s Subs banners.
Jersey Mike’s, founded in 1956 as Mike’s Subs in Point Pleasant, N.J., operates more than 3,200 locations across the United States and Canada.
