RAMSEY, NJ—Jersey Mike's, a leader in the QSR sandwich category with more than 1,300 locations open and under development across the country, has leased two locations in Bergen County, NJ. Winick Realty Group NJ's Gary Krauss was exclusive broker in both transactions as Jersey Mike's continues its aggressive expansion within its home state.

The popular sandwich shop leased 1,736 square feet at 557 North Franklin Turnpike in Ramsey, NJ. The site, which formerly housed a TCBY, is expected to open by early September.

“Jersey Mike's has been looking to move into Northern New Jersey for quite some time, and we managed to find an off-market deal in the best shopping center in the marketplace, allowing Jersey Mike's to join such co-tenants as Starbucks, Chase Bank and Walgreens,” says Krauss, who added that the shopping center sees a lot of traffic from Don Bosco Preparatory High School, which is located across the street.

Jersey Mike's also leased 1,750 square feet at 246 Livingston Street in Northvale, NJ. The store is in a newly-constructed shopping center anchored by Shop-Rite and since it opened in late June, has become one of the chain's top performing sites, says Krauss.

Gregg Slater of Equity Associates represented landlord Northvale Shopping Center Associates LLC in the Northvale lease. In Ramsey, landlord Landmark Real Estate was represented in-house.

Krauss and Winick Realty Group NJ senior vice president Daniel Spector are continuing to seek sites for the brand throughout Northern and Central New Jersey.
