Oxford diners, get ready for a taste of the Garden State! Beloved sandwich chain Jersey Mike’s is coming to the area, with construction slated to begin before the year is out.
Franchisee Bret Dunnaway announced the upcoming sandwich store on the What’s Happening In Oxford, MS Facebook page. He states that Jersey Mike’s will be moving into the 1801 West Jackson Avenue, Unit A102 space that previously housed Marble Slab American Cookie. Dunnaway further establishes that he anticipates beginning construction in the next 30 to 45 days, suggesting the deli could be customer-ready in early 2027.
Dunnaway has had his eyes on the storefront for awhile. His post states: “I tried to get this location 5 years ago. The good Lord Blessed us last week. We are Glad to be…of the Oxford Community!”
Founded in 1975, Jersey Mike’s has become one of the biggest names on the fast-casual sandwich scene. The chain is currently serving its beloved fare at more than 3,000 locations, propelled by a commitment to simple but high-quality subs. The website explains: “Our secret to longevity has been making sure that everything is always high quality. Our meats and cheeses are all top-quality premium brands. Our bread is fresh-baked each day on the premises. And of course, everything’s prepared right in front of you. It’s what makes Jersey Mike’s the most authentic tasting submarine sandwich.”
