Jersey Mike's is Coming to Jonesboro, AR!

[Jonesboro, Ark. February 19, 2024] – Haag Brown Commercial is eager to announce the fastest-growing restaurant chain in America is coming to Jonesboro! The iconic Jersey Mike’s Subs is gearing up to make a grand entrance at the newly developed Wolf Creek Shopping Center near the bustling intersection of E. Johnson Avenue and Airport Road in Jonesboro, AR.

The Wolf Creek Shopping Center is home to favorites like Guthrie’s Fried Chicken Restaurant, Buff City Soaps, and Candy Craze, making it the ideal location for Jersey Mike’s to establish its presence in Jonesboro. The location will be franchised by Landon Corkren and Bret Dunnaway, marking their 15th store location together.

After starting together in 2020 in the middle of COVID, we opened our first store and I managed Bret’s first location in Starkville, Mississippi. Over the past four years, between openings and acquisitions, we now have 14 stores. It has been an amazing ride, and we are super excited to continue our journey in Jonesboro. It will be our 15th location and my first one as a franchisee. I’m ecstatic to see what we’ll be able to do together in Jonesboro and am ready to get involved in living out Jersey Mike’s mission, which is to make a difference in someone’s life!

Franchisee, Jersey Mike's Subs

Founded in 1956 as Mike’s Subs in New Jersey, when the “submarine sandwich” was a revolutionary concept, Jersey Mike’s has since become a household name with over 2,500 locations across the nation. Now, Jonesboro is about to experience the magic of a sandwich crafted with passion and precision, as Jersey Mike’s brings its legacy of delicious subs to the heart of NEA.

At Jersey Mike’s, it’s not just a sub; it’s an experience. With high-quality ingredients, local produce, and fresh-baked bread every bite is a celebration of flavor, a symphony of tastes that make each sub a masterpiece.

The Hilltop area has experienced an explosion of growth in the last decade, fueled by the presence of Arkansas State University, NEA Baptist Hospital, and the numerous surrounding neighborhoods. The continuous influx of local, regional, and national restaurants, retailers, and businesses has been imperative in not just meeting but exceeding the area’s demands.

Jersey Mike's has been one of the most requested food establishments by the community through our social media outlets for years. We are excited to finally bring this highly sought-after brand to Jonesboro and think they will be the perfect addition to the Wolf Creek Center at Hilltop!
