Thanks for the interest in my newest Jersey Mike's location in Bryan! We are very close and are hoping to be open before the end of June. I've got vendors in today doing equipment start-up and making sure everything is operational.

I have all the inside information on Jared Steffen (me) that you could ever want! Ha! I GC'd my first 2 buildouts and did not struggle to get open in a timely manner but life has been slightly different this time around. Certainly don't have a cashflow problem as my other 2 store in CS are very high volume and continue to rank in the top stores in Texas every week. The only cashflow problem is the massive amount of money I've spent over the last 1.5yrs on paying for a business (rent, construction, equipment, etc) that doesn't create revenue. Being blessed with high volume stores also comes with it's struggles (especially after COVID) with hiring and retaining staff (especially in a transient town like CS that is often times a stop rather than a home). I had some unexpected turnover last summer of 5 managers and MIT's (managers in training). While this turned out to be great for my overall business and store culture, it definitely caused major delays since we are required to have certain "certifications" through corporate in order to open. Fall is also an extremely busy time for us so we had to strap up our boot straps and hold on for a few weeks. I have always maintained that I do not want to open just to cut my wrist on my other 2 stores. The whole reason I decided to go into business was hopefully to push higher expectations and work ethic in my employees. There were several other hurdles but no need in rehashing difficult subcontractors, equipment issues, etc......at the end of the day they are just excuses.

Apologies for anyone that I've upset with my delay, but we are excited to open very soon and hope to do so in a manner that will make everyone proud to become regular customers! Thanks for all the support and look forward to seeing y'all in store soon!

Classy response. Best wishes to you with the new location!

Great to hear! That location needs you and it's much anticipated. I have a friend with 3 JMs in Ft Worth and it's been a great investment.

I don't want excuses, just want my sandwich.

Kidding, looking forward to your opening

It looks like they are starting construction on the retail development in front of the Hudson oaks old folks homes on university just east of copperfield. Excited to see more development on that side of town.

Just hoping it's not more apartments.
