Jersey Mike’s Subs opened today, in the Compo Acres space previously occupied by Robek’s.
The “fast-casual sub sandwich” spot — the 10th Connecticut location for the franchise, and one of 1500 overall — joins Trader Joe’s, Chipotle and SoulCycle in contributing plenty of constant, in-and-out traffic to Westport’s toughest-to-navigate shopping center.
That traffic will be particularly intense for a while. In addition to the usual let’s-try-the-new-place mentality, there’s an added incentive: Through Sunday, Jersey Mike’s is offering free subs for a minimum $1 contribution to Special Olympics.
The only catch: You’ve got to already have one of the 10,000 certificates “circulating throughout the community.”
Jersey Mike’s was packed at 1:30 p.m. today.
