Jersey Mike’s Opens at Palm Coast’s Island Walk, Near Brass Tap, on Wednesday

Jersey Mike’s Subs will open its first location in Palm Coast or Flagler County on Wednesday at Island Walk, where it’ll be sandwiched between Brass Tap and Tropical Cafe on one side and Metro Diner on the other.

  • grand living realty

FlaglerLive reported Jersey Mike’s was on its way last July, when it had locked in on the store previously known as Crisp and Clean Dry Cleaning. Jersey Mike’s has been a rapidly growing franchise, opening its 2000th restaurant last year. (See: “Confirmed: Jersey Mike’s Subs Opening Restaurant at Palm Coast’s Island Walk, Near Brass Tap.”)




Local franchise owners Mark DeBiase and Drew Maider will hold a grand opening and fundraiser at the Island Walk location from Wednesday, January 18 to Sunday, January 22 to support Vincent’s Clubhouse, the Florida non-profit that runs summer camps for children with autism and other sensory challenges. For Maider, the Palm Coast restaurant is his 14th, with stores form Fernandina Beach to Port Orange.

Customers who receive a special fundraising coupon distributed through a grassroots effort prior to the opening can make a minimum $2 contribution to Vincent’s Clubhouse in exchange for a regular sub. Customers must have a coupon to be eligible.

The company was started with its first location on the Jersey shore in 1956, where it developed an ardent following and grew from there. Its latest marketing star is Danny DeVito, who grew up a few miles from the original location and is featured in commercials, marveling–in one of the 30-second spots–at the sizzles he thinks he hears inside a sub as he holds it up close to his hear.

So it goes with a franchise that has developed (and continues to nurture) a cult following. Franchise Times, the trade publication on franchising, ranked Jersey Mike’s 16th in its 2023 top-40 of all types of franchises in the country, with 64.4 percent sales growth between 2019 and 2021, and 24 percent growth in the number of stores during the same time period. The company is privately held.

Maider in July said the Palm Coast location will employ 12 to 14 people.

Until now, its fans had to travel to Ormond Beach or Daytona Beach to watch meats and cheeses sliced on the spot and piled against the laws of physics on in-store baked bread.




“Jersey Mike’s fans crave their subs made Mike’s Way with the freshest vegetables – onions, lettuce and tomatoes – topped off with an exquisite zing of ‘the juice,’ red wine vinegar and an olive oil blend. Authentic cheesesteaks are grilled fresh,” in the words of a company release issued ahead of the Palm Coast opening.

The release states that customers can place orders in-store or for pickup through the website or through the Jersey Mike’s app. Delivery is available in most areas through the Jersey Mike’s app or through third-party delivery partners. Curbside pickup is available for orders placed in Jersey Mike’s app. The Palm Coast restaurant’s hours are 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., seven days a week. You can contact this location directly at 386-585-4582.

The company is big on contributing to non-profits. Since 2010, its locations have raised more than $90 million for local charities. In 2022, the company’s 12th Annual Jersey Mike’s Month of Giving in March raised $20 million for the 2022 Special Olympics USA Games.

      You actually are taking your life into your hands driving in there… Weekend Mornings starbucks is making a killing off those too lazy to get out of their own car for coffee, drive through backs up into the road, what a cluster F!!! I must drive to the UPS store 4-5 times a week and shortest route there is past Metro Diner, Ive never been in a fender bender but If I ever do? I guarantee it will be right there. Lot was designed by circus clowns.

    I am looking forward to this. I regularly went to their Arnold Avenue store in Point Pleasant, NJ. From time to time, when I was visiting family on the Jersey Shore, I made it a point to get a sub from Mike’s… the best!

    great food, glad they are finally here. It;s a shame the location is in the most dangerous traffic area of Island walk.

    “Sandwiched” between Brass Tap and Metro Diner? You, FlaglerLive, are never lacking for a good pun.

    For a good sammy from a fast food outlet that supports the blue/red, etc, it’s Firehouse, hands down. Think the area needs more subs?

      No Doubt! New York Steamer Sub (corned beef and Pastrami) extra pickle is probably best sammy in town… My only disappointment is remember when they opened? They had 100 bottles of exotic hot sauce to explore I absolutely Loved that I tried to buy a bottle of Tears of joy a Tequila lime based habanero that was just the most perfect sauce it was $15 a bottle plus shipping, or you could buy a $10 sub and dump their entire bottle on it they didnt care… Now they just offer generic sauces like Sonny’s BBQ in plastic squirt bottles.

      The Firehouse Hot/ toasted subs are for children, old folks and dentally lacking meth addicts.
      Truly an example of a mid-west /southern Hillbilly Hero!
      –just using the term sammy is akin to putting ranch dressing on pizza… another abomination the local -yokels practice down here in the holler of P.C.

    When Larry was in business A/L deli, hands down the best sandwich money could buy, he has since retired and my choice for the freshness and money is a Publix sub, strictly my opinion.

    There is nothing special about a sandwich shop that makes sandwiches and gives you a bag of chips out of a vending machine.

      Yep. I moved to PC from sfla. They were all over. Little meat, lots of bread & toppings, no different then firehouse.
      The big kahuna was good, but I get more meat from a publix sub.
