Within an hour of opening, General Manager Andrew Jobes says there were several people already in line for their subs.

"Usually between 10 and 11, people aren't coming in getting subs," says Jobes. "It's usually like a lunchtime or a dinnertime kind of thing. Today [Wednesday] at 10, I walk in and there's line, so this is great."

Jersey Mike's "Day of Giving" is part of its March "Month of Giving" fundraising campaign. We're told last year, the initiative raised more than 4 million dollars for local charities nationwide.
